It’s almost Pancake Day (28 February 2017) and while we often long to revisit the idea of the wafer thin, sweet pancake with brown sugar and lemon, why not try something more adventurous this Shrove Tuesday, and make savoury, Peking duck pancakes using organic or free range duck.
Below, the chefs at Royal China reveal their exclusive recipe for the most authentic and delicious Peking Duck Pancakes.

- Duck Breasts (organic or free range)
3 Shallots – sliced
