Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Score the skin of the duck breasts and season. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat, add the duck, skin-side down, and cook for 4 mins or until the skin is crisp. Turn over and quickly brown the underside, then transfer to a baking tray.
  2. Mix the dressing ingredients together and spoon all but 2 tbsp of it over the duck. Roast the duck for 10 mins for pink, longer if you prefer. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 4 mins, then slice into strips. 3 Toss together the salad, tomatoes, spring onions and duck slices. Drizzle over the remaining dressing and serve.

    I used duck legs instead of breast for a cheaper mid week alternative ;) I rubbed the duck legs with some chinese 5 spice then roasted for about 1 hour before pouring half the marinade over. Leave to cool then shred the meat. If its well roasted the meat should come off the bone easily. It was lovely and flavoursome - would make a good starter for a dinner party.

    Great dish, however my partner is put off by eating to much of anything green. Next time I shall use all of the same ingredients, but swap half of the rocket and watercress for noodles, hot or cold.

    Made it as a starter (with Chinese-style Braised Beef as main) and went down really well with guests. Full of flavour and something a bit different. Used some thread noodles with watercress (dropped the rocket), just to give a bit more variation in colours/textures. Would definitely make again.
