    Fresh watercress is delicious .... it will add a bit of crunch to your Duck.

    Blanched watercress is great with Filo pastry.

    Best way is to try it fresh and see what you think, If your not keen then give it a blanch and try it again.

    Cheers
    Pete

    You must be sure of your source of water cress , if there is Liver Fluke in the area you do run a risk of catching fasciolosis eating raw watercress .

    I blanched the watercress ,but was kind of wishing I had used your idea Pete ( raw)to give some texture . Was real nice though ,worked a treat , very pupolar considering there was loads of venni back steak , wild pork , and river run salmon to show it up .( no whitebait yet) Watercress was sourced less than 300 mts from a natural spring on a mates place .

    You must of had a very deprived childhood Munsey

    You aren't really a Kiwi until you can cook a Boil Up for the boys.

    My favourite is based on Bacon Bones, Spinach and Kumera.

    Boil up always tastes better on day two and three if you can force yourself to leave some for leftovers that is.

    Num num num .

    Cheers
    Pete
