Jamie Oliver's Christmas Roast Duck with Port Gravy

An amazing alternative to Turkey for Christmas day. Jamie's roast duck with crispy potatoes and port gravy is putting up a very strong case for why it should be the centerpiece for our tables this Christmas! It's made even better by the fact that it's so easy - duck doesn't dry as quickly as chicken or turkey and it'll take about 2/3 hours in the oven. Be sure to check out the original recipe from Jamie.
