Instructions

Boil potatoes

1 Boil potatoes

  • Take the duck out of the fridge 20 min prior to cooking to come to room temp.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to the boil.
  • Cut narrow slices (about 0.5 cm) into the potatoes, making sure not to cut all the way down to the base – these are your Hasselback potatoes.
  • Boil the potatoes for 20 min until mostly softened.
Prep veg

2 Prep veg

  • Meanwhile, line a baking tray with baking paper.
  • Peel and slice the carrots into bite-sized pieces.
  • Peel and chop the beetroot into bite-sized pieces.
  • Pick some thyme, leaving some sprigs whole.
Roast veg

3 Roast veg

  • Place the beetroot, carrots, and boiled potatoes alongside and drizzle with olive oil, salt and thyme.
  • Roast the vegetables for 35-40 min until golden and starting to crisp.
Cook duck

4 Cook duck

  • Meanwhile, run a sharp knife down the skin of the duck at 0.5cm intervals making sure not to cut through the flesh.
  • Season generously with salt on both sides.
  • Place the duck, skin-side down on a cool pan.
  • Fry at medium for 10 min so the fat starts to render/melt.
  • Pour the duck fat into a bowl as it collects.
  • After the skin looks golden and crispy, flip the duck, meat side down and cook for 2 min.
  • Place the duck in the oven and cook for 8-10 min until done to your liking.
  • Transfer to a plate to rest, and wipe the pan clean.
Make sauce

5 Make sauce

  • Meanwhile, peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic.
  • Return the pan to the heat with a drizzle of the reserved duck fat.
  • Fry the shallots and garlic for 4-5 min until softened, then stir through 2 Tsp flour
  • Add the chicken jus, cranberry sauce, chicken seasoning, balsamic vinegar and a few sprigs of thyme.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce for 2-3 min until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Add the butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.
