Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Heat a large frying pan over medium heat. • Season duck breast on both sides and place, skin-side down, in the hot pan. Cook until the skin is crisp, 12 minutes. • Increase heat to high and turn to sear the flesh on all sides until browned, 1 minute. • Transfer duck to a second lined oven tray and roast, skin-side up, until duck is cooked through, 10-12 minutes. • Transfer to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pick thyme leaves. Cut potato into bite-sized chunks. • Place potato and thyme on a second lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil the kettle. Finely chop garlic. Halve any thick baby broccoli stalks lengthways. • Thinly slice carrot into sticks. • Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. Cook the cracked black pepper until fragrant, 30 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook baby broccoli and carrot until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and the butter and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• To the bowl of peppercorns, add gravy granules and the boiling water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), whisking until smooth and thickened, 1 minute. Season to taste.
• Slice the roast duck. • Divide thyme-roasted potatoes, sautéed veggies and duck between plates. • Sprinkle slivered almonds over veggies and spoon over peppercorn gravy to serve. Enjoy!
