Create a gourmet duck salad using seasonal produce.
Ingredients:
  • 8 baby beetroot
  • 1 pomegranate*, halved
  • 40.00 ml redcurrant jelly, warmed gently
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 20.00 ml sherry vinegar*
  • 5.90 gm Dijon mustard
  • 4 duck breast fillets*
  • 100g thin green beans, blanched
  • 250.00 ml micro salad leaves* (or wild rocket)
  • 150g marinated feta, drained
  • 18.40 gm chopped walnuts, toasted
Instructions:
  • Boil or steam beetroot for 20 minutes until tender. Peel and quarter once cooled, then set aside.
  • Extract pomegranate juice by pressing each half gently over a juicer to loosen seeds. Collect the juice in a bowl, then carefully remove the seeds with a sharp knife and add them to the bowl. Whisk together warmed jelly, oil, vinegar, mustard, and 2 tablespoons of pomegranate juice to make a flavorful dressing. Season to taste and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 190°C. Warm an oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Season the duck and sear it, skin-side down, for 6-8 minutes until the skin is crisp and most of the fat has rendered. Flip the duck, cook for another 30 seconds, then finish cooking in the oven for 5 minutes until it reaches your desired doneness. Let it rest before serving.
  • Combine beets, beans, greens, feta, and nuts in a bowl. Toss with 3 tablespoons of dressing. Plate the salad mixture. Top with thinly sliced duck, drizzle with remaining dressing, and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds before serving.
