Ingredients
Method
- Make shallow cuts through the skin of the duck, and salt liberally.
- Place duck into a cold pan, and turn on to medium high heat. If possible, weight the duck breasts with another heavy pan or pot.
- Heat another pan on high heat with the garlic olive oil.
- Roughly cut the carrots into bite sized pieces, and place into pan with olive oil.
- Turn the duck breasts once the skin starts getting golden brown and crispy, and cook till it's done to your liking (I suggest medium). Rest for 5 min.
- Once the carrots start getting some colour, add the beetroots.
- Cook for a further 2 min, then add the mustard and honey, stirring to coat the vegetables in the glaze.
- Remove the vegetables into a large bowl, and add the verjuice and chopped dill to the honey and mustard left in the pan*. Stir to mix, and pour over the carrots and beetroot as a dressing.
- Add the salad greens to the carrots and beetroot, and toss to coat.
- Top with sliced duck to finish.
Notes
* For convenience, you can find baby beetroots that have been cooked and peeled in most supermarkets.
