Binchotan-grilled duck breast à la Apicius, with duck leg croquette and celeriac
This dish highlights duck, a symbol of autumn in New Zealand, with manuka honey and the gentle aroma of binchotan charcoal.
The breast, a bite-sized croquette of confit leg, and a sauce made from the bones allowed the whole bird to be enjoyed.
It was a main course that reflected both the season and the local character of the setting.
