Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°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. • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, balsamic vinegar and a splash of water. • Transfer to a lined oven tray, brush over the glaze mixture and roast until duck is cooked through, 10-12 minutes. • Transfer seared duck, skin side up, to a plate to rest for 5 minutes.
• While the duck is searing, boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Peel potato and cut into large chunks. • Cook potato in the boiling water over high heat until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. • Add the butter (for the mash) and milk to potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. Cover to keep warm.
TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled.
• While the potato is cooking, trim green beans. • Thinly slice leek. • Finely chop garlic, celery and parsley. • Pick thyme leaves. • Drain cannellini beans.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook leek and celery, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic and thyme, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add the cannellini beans, chicken-style stock powder, dijon mustard, the butter (for the veggies) and water. • Reduce heat to low, and simmer until slightly reduced, 4-5 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Wipe out the frying pan then return to mediumhigh heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook green beans, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add parsley and toss to combine. Season.
• Slice duck. • Divide potato purée, bean ragout, roast duck breast and parsley green beans between plates. • Spoon over any duck resting juices. Enjoy!
