Don’t ask me why I chose last night – a single parenting, World Cup game viewing, weeknight – to be the night I’d try my hand at duck à la orange for the first time because I don’t know! Felt like a lot of work, but that’s how many first time dishes land with me. On the whole, I liked it. Next time I’m going to roast the duck on a roasting rack (as opposed to the bed of root vegetables the recipe called for, as the cook on the underside of the duck wasn’t where I want it to be. Sauce turned-out great, though, and isn’t that the key to this dish, anyways? A bottle of 2019 Our Wines - Pinot Noir paired adequately, but this meal was much more about the food than the wine, so all was good. Green beans and mashed potatoes on side dish duty.
