Duck Pepper Fry
28 April, 2015
As already stated my family and I are fond of duck, nothing tastes as heavenly as duck. I have already blogged few recipes with duck and this is another completely different dish prepared with the combination of Black Pepper.
This is an easy, simple, delicious and less time-consuming dish.
