On the HobCurry4

This red Thai duck curry is fragrant, warming, and full of depth. Crisp-skinned duck is simmered in a silky coconut curry sauce with red curry paste, creating a balanced mix of heat, sweetness, and savoury richness.

Serve with jasmine rice and fresh herbs for a restaurant-style curry at home.
