Instructions

Prep the Rosemary Potatoes
1

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

Pick the rosemary leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (see ingredients for amount, discard the stalks).

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). Pop them onto a large baking tray. Dizzle with oil, sprinkle with the rosemary, then season with salt and pepper.

Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.

Cook the Duck
2

Meanwhile, 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. Set the pan aside.

Roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked, 16-18 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.

Make your Redcurrant Sauce
3

While everything roasts, put a small saucepan on medium heat with the redcurrant jelly and balsamic vinegar.

Whisk together until combined and bubbling, 2-3 mins.

Stir in the red wine stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount), then simmer until glossy and thickened, 4-5 mins. Remove from the heat.

Broccoli Time
4

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

Wipe out the (now empty) duck frying pan and pop on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the Tenderstem® and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Stir in the garlic, then turn the heat down to medium and cook for 1 min.

Add a splash of water, then cover with a lid (or foil) and allow to cook until tender, 2-3 mins more. Season with salt and pepper.

Finishing Touches
5

Once the duck is cooked, transfer to a plate and rest for 5 mins.

When everything's almost ready, pour any resting juices from the duck into your sauce and gently reheat until piping hot.

Once the duck has rested, cut widthways into 1cm slices.

Serve
6

Plate up your duck breast with the rosemary roast potatoes and broccoli alongside.

Spoon the balsamic redcurrant sauce over the duck to finish.

Enjoy!
