Method

  1. Preheat oven to 190°C.
  2. Remove duck from the fridge 40 minutes before cooking.
  3. Score the duck skin and season well with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a pan until you can feel moderate heat coming off it. Place the duck, skin side down into the pan for 5 minutes until golden. Turn the duck breast over and cook for 2 minutes
  5. Place the duck in a roasting tray and cook in the oven for 8 minutes. Remove the duck and let this rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing into it.


For the sauce:

  1. Sprinkle sugar into the pan that you cooked the duck in.
  2. Cook over medium heat until it melts and forms a caramel.
  3. Add red wine vinegar. Stir to combine.
  4. Add veal glaze and reduce slightly.
  5. Add orange zest, quatre epice and juice and reduce again until thick and glossy.
  6. Whisk in butter.
  7. Now slice the rested duck thickly.


For the bean salad:

Mix through fresh parsley, thyme and finely chopped garlic and the olive oil.


Serve slices of duck breast over the bean salad with a spoonful of the sauce.

    Fantastic recipe. Came out perfectly if you follow the recipe to the letter. As this is an Australian website, you should use the word Cannellini instead of Haricot. Most Aussies would not know what a Haricot bean was and they are not labelled as such in supermarkets. The tinned option (rinsed) should be mentioned rather than the overnight soaking, for a time saving device, although not as nice. I make the bean salad on its own for lunch regularly as a veggie option. Delicious.
