The rich flavour of duck is offset perfectly by the citrus tang of the fruit and a crunchy green salad in this fantastic duck recipe from Tong Chee Hwee - just remember to plan your timings carefully to allow sufficient marinating time. Pomelos, a vast, mellow citrus fruit, should be available from Asian supermarkets and specialist greengrocers.
