Instructions

Roast the Duck Leg
1

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

Remove the confit duck legs from their packaging. Place onto a lined baking tray, skin-side up, and season with salt and pepper.

Roast on the top shelf of your oven for 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw duck and its packaging. Ensure the duck is piping hot throughout.

Roast the Carrots
2

While the duck cooks, trim the orange and purple carrots, then halve lengthways (no need to peel). Chop into roughly 1cm wide, 5cm long batons.

Put the carrots onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil and honey (see pantry) and season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.

Spread out in a single layer. When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until tender, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through cooking.

Roast the Tenderstem®
3

Meanwhile, halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

When the duck has 10-12 mins remaining, add the broccoli to the carrot baking tray. Drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer. Roast on the middle shelf until tender, 10-12 mins.

If you'd prefer to, boil your broccoli in step 5 while the sauce cooks, for 3-5 mins until tender. Season with salt and pepper.

 

Make the Sauce
4

Meanwhile, heat a small saucepan on high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the mushrooms and fry, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-6 mins.

Pour in the water (see pantry) and bring to the boil, then stir in the red wine jus paste. Reduce the heat to medium, then bubble away until the sauce has reduced by half, 8-9 mins. 

Once glossy and thickened, remove from the heat.

If your red wine jus paste has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Cook the Peas
5

While the jus simmers, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the peas and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Add the garlic and fry until fragrant, 1 min, then remove from the heat.

Serve
6

Share the honey roasted carrots and garlic peas between your plates.

Serve the roasted duck leg with the Tenderstem® broccoli alongside.

Pour over the mushroom red wine jus to finish.
