Duck with caramelised rhubarb and braised beetroot
Method
2. For the duck: season the duck breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a frying pan and cook the duck skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip over and cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until the duck is cooked but still slightly pink in the middle. Remove from the heat and leave to rest skin-side up.
3. For the braised beetroot: create a large ‘pocket’ with a large piece of aluminium foil folded over in half and crimped on three sides. Place the beetroot inside, along with the wine, onions, garlic, vinegar, sugar, thyme and peppercorns.
4. Seal the package tightly and place in an ovenproof dish with a generous amount of water in to prevent burning the foil. Bake for approximately 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes. Open the foil package with caution as the steam could burn. Test with a sharp knife to see if the beetroot is cooked and tender (otherwise return to the oven until cooked).
5. When cooked, drain the beetroot cooking juices through a sieve into a pan, bring to boil and add the chicken stock.. Whisk in the butter and mix well until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
6. For the caramelised rhubarb: place the rhubarb in a large bowl and cover with boiling water and leave for 15-20 seconds. Drain, then pat dry.
7. Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the icing sugar, followed by the rhubarb. Toss until well coloured and golden. Remove from the pan.
8. To serve, reheat the cabbage and pile onto plates. Slice the duck and arrange on top of the cabbage, then place the beetroot and rhubarb around and spoon around the sauce.
