... well not me personally but I fancy cooking them tonight. Has anyone got a tried and tested recipe? I usually just start them in the frying pan and then put them in the oven. Delicious but a bit boring.
Any ideas?

I'm still laughing at the title to the point I have tears rolling down my face. No sensible answer though I'm afraid.

Thanks Butterflyblue! I know some women use 'chicken fillets' in their bra but having two duck breasts is an entirely different thing altogether!

I couldn't decide if they'd be soft and fluffy or large and round - but you made me laugh!

You women have no sense of decorum! This is a food and home thread not a smutty thread! Stop looking for smut where none exists.
Back to the topic. I have two plump duck breasts and my OH loves them but I would like to do something a little different with them. ;-)
What do you serve with yours? Do you add sauce? I like to do saute potatoes and green beans. Any other ideas. Keep it clean, girls, please!

If you are just happy to pan fry them , try mixing some redcurrant jelly, a little port and some tabasco. Heat through and reduce down to a thickish sauce . Serve over the duck with baby roast potatoes and green veg of your choice

Poor you I thought when I read the title!! LOL.I fry mine first,amazing how much fat comes out.Slash the skin first.Then I put in oven for about 10-15 mins only.I like a citrus sauce made with a good marmalade,squeeze of lemon juice,drop of red wine,thicken perhaps with a little cornflour,little orange zest if you want.Any thing but the kitchen sink for me!!!! Inaccurate science but it usually works.Can smell it now.Is 3 a crowd?? merc.x
