Cooking Steps

Boil the potatoes
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Boil the kettle. • Cut potato into large chunks. • Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. Cook potato and garlic cloves (with the peel) in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 10-15 minutes.

Cook the duck
2

• 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.

Roast the potatoes and duck
3

• Drain potatoes and garlic and transfer to a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • When the potatoes has 15 minutes remaining, transfer duck breast to a second lined oven tray and roast until duck is cooked through, 10-12 minutes. • Rest duck for 5 minutes.

Get prepped
4

• Meanwhile, peel and thinly slice orange into wedges. Slice cucumber into rounds. • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine cherry sauce, red wine jus and a splash of water. Microwave in 30 second bursts until warmed through.

Toss the salad
5

• In a large bowl, combine Dijon mustard (see ingredients), the honey and a drizzle of olive oil. Add rocket leaves, orange and cucumber. Toss to combine and season to taste.

Serve up
6

• Add any duck juices/fat from the oven tray to the cherry sauce mixture and stir to combine. • Slice duck breast. • Divide seared duck, twice-cooked potatoes and roasted garlic and orange salad between plates. • Serve with cherry red wine jus. Enjoy!
