On Valentines weekend I plan to prepare a roast duck dinner for my boyfriend. The recipe I have is from a book he gave me for Christmas: "Downton Abbey Cookbook." The recipe calls for the duck to be roasted plain and served on a bed of homemade applesauce, with currant gravy on the side.
What would you serve as sides with this dish? I was thinking brown and wild rice with pecans, but I've made that for him several times previously. Should I stick with that since he likes it, or would you suggest something else for a starchy side?
What vegetable dish would you suggest I serve with this duck?
I'd love to hear some new ideas. Thanks!

I make something very similar to this and I always get positive feedback on it. I agree it might be a good accompaniment to Duck. What I do is very similar to your linked recipe, but instead of using mozzarella, I use equal parts sharp white cheddar and gruyere. I also add some toasted candied pecans on the top and just a touch of brown sugar as well as cinnamon between the layers for added sweetness.
Roast potatoes and roast pumpkin. All a matter of taste, but I personally would not have anything with cheese to accompany duck.
