Duck on the BBQ

 Saffron and parsnip purée, braised red cabbage, and that wonderful duck.

But I have a wee story to tell about my new microwave.  It is so bloody cute.  I mean if any machine could be cute my microwave is hands down.  It does a "bing' when finished.  Nothing more.  No  buttons, just dials.  So so cute and basic.  

Anyway.  We cooked the duck breast on the BBQ raised high to give it a long slow cook.  I did the parsnip crispy bits in my cute wee microwave on the defrost mode (ping!!!).  The saffron parsnip purée was beautiful... Just a touch of saffron and a silky smooth purée.  Red wine port reduction. Fresh sourdough with propper French butter.  Yum.
