• 4 x Duck breasts, whole, with ribs and backs
• 4 x Bacon strips
• 1 cl Garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Dry parsley
• 1/2 tsp Dry thyme
• 1/2 tsp Marjoram Salt Freshly grnd coarse Black pepper
• 1 x Bay leaf
• 1/2 c. Onion, coarsely minced
• 10 ounce Can mushrooms and juice
• 1/2 c. Sven's Glogg*
• 1/2 c. Chicken stock

1. * A spiced wine, that see, or possibly sub red wine which has had a healthy pinch each orange peel, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and anise steeped in it.
2. Pre-heat oven to 400.
3. Place the skinned breasts in a casserole.
4. Lay 2 half strips of bacon over each breast.
5. Sprinkle the seasonings over the birds and then the onions and mushrooms.
6. Pour the mushroom juice, wine and a little stock over all and cover the casserole.
7. Bake for 20 min.
8. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 and bake for a further 55 min.
9. This dish tastes even better if it is allowed to cold slowly with the breasts marinading in the stock and re-heated the next day for serving.
10. Alternatively the cool cooked breasts can be boned; the stock thickened with cornstarch or possibly flour and the breast medallions heated briefly in the simmering gravy and served on toast.
