Step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the oil, orange juice and honey together and brush all over the duck breasts, then place in a roasting tin and cook for 25-30 mins until golden. Leave to cool for 10 mins, before removing and discarding the skins and shredding the meat.
Step 2
Once the duck is cooked, turn up the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6½ and line a flat baking tray with baking parchment. Unroll the pastry and cut it into 4 even rectangles, then place them slightly apart on the baking tray. Score a 1cm border around each rectangle and prick the middles with a fork to stop them rising too much.
Step 3
Beat all the filling ingredients together and spread evenly across the middle of each pastry case, avoiding the scored edge. Top with the broccoli (you may need to trim the stems if they’re too long) and brush the edges with the egg. Bake for 15-20 mins until the pastry is golden and the broccoli is cooked through.
Step 4
Arrange the shredded duck on top of the tarts, drizzle with olive oil to enjoy immediately, or return to the oven for another 2-3 mins to re-heat the duck. Serve with some extra orange zest and thyme leaves sprinkled on top and a green salad on the side.
"These tartlets are inspired by my mother’s Christmas cooking, when the house would fill with the comforting scents of warm pastry and roasted meat. The creamy, garlicky aroma instantly takes me back."
The much-loved Garlic & Herbs is a delicious blend of delicate garlic, fragrant parsley and mild chives folded into authentic cheese. Creamy yet crumbly, it smothers easily onto crackers, compliments a variety of recipes and takes any grazing platter to a whole new level.
