    Made this tonight for dinner, and even my 5-year old gobbled it down. My children and I loved all the sweet flavors. Since we are hunters, we used wild duck which when breasted out had very little fat in it. My husband prefers his duck served at medium well to well done, which is an easy modify. I simply seared the duck and made twice the amount of sauce in the pan, transferred all to a baking dish and cook at 300 for about 25 minutes. I also added chopped apricots to the sauce and omitted the butter and lavender. We will definitely be having this recipe again.

    I made this last night and it was lovely. It was easy and tasty. I made a few changes in the sauce. I did not have rose sparkling wine so I used a plain rose wine, I also used dried cranberries for cherries due to availability. Lastly I could not find plain lavander, so I used herb de provence instead. The sauce turned out lovely and the rice truly complimented the duck and sauce. This is a keeper recipe. Thank you Emeril for another fabulous recipe!

    We made this and absolutely loved it! We subbed almonds for the hazelnuts and tossed in 1/2 c. dried cranberries that had soaked in some cabernet for about 30 minutes. My brother is quickly becoming a foodie due to his exposure to new foods at my house! He really enjoyed it.

    I finally was able to buy 4 duck breasts and bought all the ingredients for the sauce. I was disappointed. My husband really liked it. I'm going to try another recipe for the next 4 breast I have in the freezer.

    I've made this dish twice and it wows each time. The nutty rice is unbelievable.

    this recipe was easy and my family was impressed. We were trying to duplicate a meal we had at Deep Fork (a resturant in OKC.

    I made this for my fiance' special birthday dinner - it is simply the best thing we have ever tasted! I used all organic ingredients, but skipped on lavender and thyme, since didn't have it at hand. Used a bit of rosemary instead. Also, I didn't take into account that wild rice takes forever to make and used just plain white basmati rice instead. In any case, with all the substitutions, this dish was sooooooo good. Toasted hazelnuts on top - yam! Highly recommend! Save this for a special occasion.

    Most Excellent recipe for duck and rice. Take Emeril's suggestion and add apples to the rice. I also added blueberries! Wow!
