Opting to eat healthily has many benefits and is becoming a more popular way of living. The overall economy is affected by the number of people who are suffering from conditions such as hypertension, which is directly linked to poor eating habits. Wherever you look, people are encouraging you to live a healthier lifestyle but but then, you are also being encouraged to rely on fast foods that can affect your health in a detrimental way. People typically think that healthy diets demand a lot of work and will significantly alter the way they live and eat. It is possible, though, to make several small changes that can start to make a difference to our everyday eating habits.

One way to address this to begin seeing some results is to realize that you do not need to change everything at once or that you have to altogether get rid of certain foods from your diet. If you want to commit to a wholesale change, that is okay but the main thing at first is to try to see to it that you are making more healthy eating choices. Soon enough, you will likely find that you will eat more and more healthy food as your taste buds become accustomed to the change. As with many other habits, change happens over a period of time and as soon as a new way of eating becomes part of who you are, you will not feel the need to go back to your old diet.

All in all, it is easy to start to make healthy eating a part of your daily lifestyle.

The ingredients needed to prepare Duck Breasts with Orange and Star Anise:

1. Prepare 1 whole duck with giblets
2. Take 2 tsp fennel seeds
3. Get 1 pinch dried chilli flakes
4. Use 1 tsp ground cumin
5. Provide 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
6. Use 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
7. Take 2 oranges
8. Provide splash white wine
9. Provide 2 star anise

Steps to make Duck Breasts with Orange and Star Anise:

1. I was going to take photos of the process but it was so quick I was done before I knew it. There are lots of videos on YouTube on how to do this, so if you feel unsure of how to start I'd suggest watching one. First remove the legs, cutting gently through the skin and down towards the wings in both directions. Then gently cut the breasts away. Really, it's that easy.
2. Keep an eye on the dog.
3. Put the carcass, giblets and all the scraps, including skin and fat in a large pan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for an hour or so to make a lovely stock. Cool in a bowl and then put it in the fridge. Don't throw any of the fat away, you need it for duck confit, or roast potatoes.
4. Crush the fennel seeds slightly and mix with chilli, cumin, pepper and salt. Score the skin on the breasts with a sharp knife in a criss cross pattern, without cutting into the meat. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6.
5. Rub the spice mixture into the skin and leave to sit for half an hour or so, longer if you can. Heat an ovenproof frying pan or skillet on a high heat with a little oil, and sear each side of the breasts. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for about 15-20 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden. You can do this under a hot grill too, or carry on cooking on the stove top.
6. While the duck is cooking grate the zest from the oranges and squeeze them into a jug, add the star anise.
7. When the duck is almost cooked, remove from the pan and pour off most of the fat, don't throw it away! Put the pan back on a medium heat and add a splash of wine to deglaze the pan, stirring in the meat juices and crispy bits.
8. Add the orange juice to the pan, and bubble it for 5 minutes or so, add salt and pepper if needed, then put the duck back in for a final 5 minutes and keep the sauce bubbling away until reduced. Remove the duck and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
9. Bubble up the sauce until thick and gloopy. I added a teaspoon of honey to give it a sheen, but that's optional. Slice the duck and serve with the sauce on a bed of mashed sweet potato and carrot, and some greens.
10. Use the duck stock and rendered fat to make duck confit https://cookpad.com/uk/recipes/542982-duck-confit and the stock to make a pilaf.

Add ½ tsp salt, pepperberries, star anise and orange zest, and massage into duck. Add the wine and garlic, and toss to combine. Add the garlic and ginger to the frying pan and cook gently till soft, then add to the pan with the duck. Add the orange juice, fish sauce, star anise, chillies, lemongrass and season with black pepper. To make the duck magret an l'orange, mix all the ingredients for the marinade.
