Ingredients

  • 225g new potatoes, diced
  • 2 duck breasts, skin scored
  • 200ml pomegranate juice
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 sprinkle fresh pomegranate seeds
  • 300g green beans, to serve

Recipe tips / Prepare ahead

Preheat the oven to 200C/ Gas6.

Method

Step 1

Place the diced potatoes in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. Return the water to the boil and then cook until just tender (approx 6 minutes). Drain.

Step 2

Whilst the potatoes are cooking, place a heavy based frying pan over a high heat and cook the duck breasts skin side down for 5 minutes. Transfer the duck to a baking tray and cook in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add the potatoes to the frying pan and fry in the duck fat until golden, stirring from time to time.

Step 4

Place the pomegranate juice, star anise and honey in a pan and boil rapidly until reduced by about half. Keep warm.

Step 5

Remove the duck from the oven and allow to rest in a warm place for 5 minutes before slicing. Add any juices from the meat to the pomegranate juice reduction. Season to taste.

Step 6

Serve the sliced duck with the fried potatoes and green beans, drizzle with the sauce and sprinkle over the pomegranate seeds.
