Seared breast of duck, very rare, with a black currant glaze, Brussel sprouts and shitakii mushrooms sautéed in duck fat with caramelized shallots, purée of Japanese sweet potatoes with cream and lots of minced Chinese chives, an endive/watercress salad with pear and Roquefort, lovely Merlot, and to finish, plum tart in an almond crust, with a small glass of iced Limoncello.
'Twas delicious!
