Instructions
1
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Score the duck in a criss-cross pattern with a knife (don't cut through to the flesh). IMPORTANT: Wash hands after handling raw meat. Duck is cooked when no longer pink in the middle. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay the duck, skin-side down, into a cold pan.
- Turn the heat to medium-high and sear until golden brown, 10-15 mins. Turn and cook for another 2-3 mins. Reserve the pan and the fat to use later.
- Pop the duck into an oven dish. Cook in the oven, 12-15 mins.
2
- Peel and chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks.
- Place the potatoes in a pot, cover with water and season with salt.
- Bring to the boil and cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander (reserving a little cooking water) and return to the pot, off the heat.
- Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk or cooking water. Mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
3
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the ginger.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Halve the plum and remove the pit. Cut into 2cm wedges.
- Trim the pak choi, then separate the leaves. Quarter each leaf lengthways.
4
- Return the pan to medium heat (keeping the fat in the pan).
- Stir in the plums, ginger and 2 tsp sugar (per 2P).
- Cook for 1 min then add the soy sauce.
- Increase the heat, bring to the boil then add the red wine jus.
- Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened and glossy, 6-8 mins.
TIP: Loosen with a splash of water if necessary.
5
- Meanwhile, place a separate pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once hot, add the garlic and pak choi. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 2-3 mins.
6
- Once everything is ready, thinly slice the duck and stir any resting juices into the plum sauce.
- Divide the mash between plates and arrange the sliced duck on top.
- Spoon the plum sauce all over and serve the garlic pak choi on the side.
