Duck is having a renaissance both in restaurants and home kitchens as many cooks discover an exciting range of flavors and textures. For a good Sunday lunch at home, this duck burger is the perfect companion for anyone who wants to free themselves from the tyranny of beef burgers! And what’s not to like? Duck breasts are grilled and smothered with a layer of perfectly cooked apples and a dash of red onion confit. The duck burger is accompanied by a side of homemade fries, for good measure, of course!
