Roast Duck, Brussel Sprouts, Sweet Potato

This ready-cooked vacuum-packed roast half duck has shown its worth, not only as alternative protein choice in protein/ salad/ grain bowl-meals, but also as main course specials during Thanksgiving and Christmas recently.


Meal preparation is a breeze with this Maple Leaf Farm Roast Half Duck, sold in two individual 14-oz packages (total 28oz, approx. 4 servings, $17) at our local Costco.

As earlier mentioned - effortless to prepare, ready in minutes, this tender and lean mean piece of gourmet bone-in roast duck is very delicious, consider it Michelin-restaurant quality (but I have not tasted any Michelin restaurant dish, so do take this as comparative compliment to superior taste and food quality).
