Ingredients

  • 1 large onion and 1 carrot, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/4 cup (70g) tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon plain flour

Remove duck and drain fat, leaving 2 tablespoons in the pan. Add the onion, carrot and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook for a further minute. Sprinkle with the flour and stir to combine. Add the wine, stock, herbs, rind and juice. Bring to the boil and season. Return the duck to the pan, cover and cook in the oven for 2 hours.
