Cooking Steps

Cook the Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray.

Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until golden, 30-40 mins. Turn halfway through.

Roast the Confit Duck
2

Lay the chicken onto a baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

Roast the chicken on the top shelf until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Steam-Fry the Green Beans
3

While everything's in the oven, trim the green beans.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the green beans and stir-fry until starting to char, 2-3 mins. 

Turn the heat down to medium, then add a splash of water and immediately cover with a lid or some foil. Cook until the beans are tender, 4-5 mins.

Add the peas
4

Once the beans are tender, add the peas and cook for a further minute.

Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. Cover to keep warm.

Make your Fig Sauce
5

Wipe out the (now empty) frying pan and pop back on medium heat.

Add the fig jam, chicken stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount).

Stir together, then bring to the boil and simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins.

Vigorously stir in the butter (see pantry for amount), then remove from the heat.

Serve
6

A few mins before the potatoes are ready, sprinkle the Italian style cheese over and roast for the remaining time.  

Once everything's ready, transfer the chicken to your plates.

Spoon over the fig sauce (reheat first if needed). 

Serve the cheesy potatoes and veg alongside.
