An elegant main featuring tender duck glazed with a reduction of whisky-infused Mānuka Honey, served with a layered jus that draws out the honey’s depth and structure.
The dish came together after several trials to deeply understand how the honey could balance the richness of the meat. Starting with high quality seasonal ingredients, the duck was cherry smoked on the bone and the honey glazed over it with soft spices. The sauce is built with aromatics and acidity to complement the honey’s character without overpowering it.
