Step-by-step
- Put the giblets into the stock and leave to gently simmer for 30 minutes
- Cut the bacon into thick lardoons i.e. ¼ " x ¼ ". Melt 1oz butter and add the lardoons, add the button onions and gently colour along with the lardoons, when nicely coloured take out and keep on one side.
- Prick the ducks all over and rub with a little salt, colour in the same pan as the lardoons and onions and take out of pan.
- Drain off all fat and put ducks back in the pan. Strain the stock into the pan ,bring to the boil and cover with a lid on. Put in oven 160°C and cook for 1 hour.
- Add the button onions and lardoons and braise for a further 15 minutes.
- Take the ducks out and allow to rest, keep warm, remove excess fat.
- Shred the lettuce into strips and add to the sauce with the peas and herbs. Simmer the sauce on the hob until it has reduced by a third. Season to taste then reduce the heat and bit by bit, whisk in the remaining butter to create an emulsion.
- Carve the ducks and put on a flat plate. Pour sauce over and serve
