Duck breasts benefit from being cooked sous vide as no moisture is lost during the cooking process resulting in tender, delicious meat. The skin can either be removed before cooking or crisped in a pan afterwards. Cooking duck breast sous vide also means that it can be cooked in advance and reheated when necessary making it perfect for a dinner party.

For added flavour, brush the duck breasts with honey before cooking and add some orange or lemon zest to the bag.

You could also try adding liquorice, cinnamon or star anise to the bag.
