Many of us are now clocking off work and heading home to spend Christmas with friends and family. I love this time of the year and enjoy heading back to the UK for a couple of weeks of festive fun. And what better way to kick start the holiday than with a special home cooked meal?
This recipe is a perfect one for a dinner party or special dinner whether it is for a romantic dinner, meal with friends or a new years eve special.
The cabbage is cooked with red wine and apples and gently cooked so that it still has a bit of crunch. The duck is super crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. I also serve this with some rosemary potatoes on the side. It goes down a treat every time!
