Something else.
I used some stock from freezer that had been made from the leftover christmas turkey and doubled the amount of fresh mushrooms as im not keen on dried ones! I fried off the fresh mushrooms with garlic and a splash of wine and set aside to the end, adding them at the same time as the duck, LUSH!
