Duck à l'Orange and Spring Onion Mash

Pop a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

Once hot, lay the duck in the pan, skin-side down, and fry until the skin is golden, 6-8 mins. Flip, then sear the other side for 1 min more.

Transfer to a baking tray, skin-side up, and season with salt and pepper. When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked, 16-18 mins. 

Once cooked, transfer to a plate and rest for 5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw duck and its packaging. It's fully cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

In the meantime, pop the carrots onto one half of another large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt, pepper and the sugar (see pantry for amount), then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. 

Roast on the medium shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. 

Meanwhile, when your pan of water is boiling, add the potatoes and whole garlic cloves. Cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins. 

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat. Add half the butter (see pantry for amount) and a splash of milk (if you have any). Mash the potatoes and garlic until smooth. 

Season with salt and pepper, then stir through the spring onion. Cover with a lid to keep warm.

When the carrots have 12 mins remaining, turn them over. Pop the Tenderstem® broccoli onto the other side of the baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper and spread out in a single layer. Return to the oven for the remaining time, 10-12 mins.

While the duck rests, discard all but 1 tbsp of fat from the duck pan and pop back on medium-high heat. 

Add the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), chicken stock paste, honey, orange juice and the remaining butter. TIP: If your honey has hardened, pop it in a bowl of hot water for 1 min.

Stir and bring to the boil, then simmer, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced and it's glossy and thick, 3-4 mins. 

Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it looks too thick.
