Cooking Steps

Roast the Broccoli
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Trim the tip of the broccoli. Cut head into small florets and stem into 2cm pieces.
  • Pop the broccoli onto a lined baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the edges are crispy and slightly charred, 10-15 mins. 
Cook the Duck
2
  • Score the skin of the duck.
  • Place the duck in a cold pan, skin-side down. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw duck and its packaging. Duck is cooked when browned on the outside.
  • Turn the heat to medium-high and sear until the skin is golden brown, 10-15 mins. Turn and cook for another 2-3 mins. Reserve duck fat for later use if you like.
  • Pop the duck into an oven dish and cook for 12-15 mins. Rest for 1-2 mins before slicing.
Get Prepped
3
  • Halve the cabbage, cut out and discard the tough core, then finely slice.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Finishing Touches
4
  • Return the pan to medium-high heat with 1 tbsp butter (per 2P). 
  • Add the cabbage and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour in the vinegar and allow to evaporate, 1-2 mins. Add 100ml water (per 2P).
  • Lower heat to medium-low and cook the cabbage until softened, stirring occasionally, 20-25 mins.
  • When the cabbage has 1-2 mins remaining, stir through the garlic.
Make the Black Pepper Sauce
5
  • Meanwhile, place a pot over medium heat (no oil).
  • Add the stock, cracked black pepper and creme fraiche.
  • Allow to warm through. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if required.
Dish Up
6
  • Share the sliced duck, roasted broccoli and braised cabbage between your plates.
  • Top the sliced duck with the black pepper sauce to finish.
