3. Add in the spring onions and simmer for a further 5 minutes.

4. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

5. Marinate the duck breasts in the cooled marinade in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

8. Add in the assorted mushrooms, turning them well in the oil.

9. Cover the frying pan, reduce the heat and cook very gently for 7 minutes.
