• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Trim baby broccoli and halve lengthways. • Roughly chop silverbeet. • Finely chop garlic. • Zest orange (see ingredients) to get a pinch, then juice. • Pick rosemary and finely chop.
TIP: Run your fingers down the rosemary stalk to remove the leaves easily.
• Place potato on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat, then roast until golden and tender, 20-25 minutes.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. • Season both sides of duck breast. Place duck, skin-side down, in the hot pan. Cook duck until the skin is crisp, 12 minutes. • Increase heat to high, then turn duck to sear flesh on all sides until browned, 1 minute. • Transfer to the oven tray with the potatoes, then pour over duck fat from the pan. Roast until duck is cooked through, 10-12 minutes. • Transfer duck to a plate to rest, 5 minutes. • Toss potatoes and roast for a further 5 minutes.
TIP: Duck fat can have a strong taste, feel free to leave it out if you're not a fan!
• While the duck is roasting, wipe out the pan, then return to medium-high heat. • Cook baby broccoli with a dash of water, tossing, until just tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add silverbeet and cook until tender, 2-3 minutes. • Add half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl.
• While the duck is resting, combine apricot sauce (see ingredients), vegetable stock powder, orange zest, orange juice and the red wine vinegar in a medium bowl. • Return the frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook rosemary and remaining garlic until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add orange-apricot mixture and simmer until thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from the heat, then stir through the butter.
• Slice duck. • Divide duck-fat potatoes, garlic greens and duck between plates. • Spoon over orange glaze to serve. Enjoy!
