Ingredients

  • 2 × 150g duck breast fillets skin on
  • 1 baguette
  • 15 g shelled unsalted walnut halves
  • 3 regular or blood oranges
  • 30 g watercress

Instructions

  • Score the duck skin, rub all over with sea salt and black pepper, then place skin side down in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat.
  • Sear for 6 minutes, or until the skin is dark golden, then turn and cook for 5 minutes, or to your liking.
  • Remove to a board to rest, leaving the pan on the heat.
  • Slice 10 thin slices of baguette (keeping the rest for another day).
  • Place in the hot pan with the walnuts to toast and get golden in the duck fat, then remove and arrange the toasts on your plates.
  • Meanwhile, top and tail the oranges, cut away the peel, then finely slice into rounds (removing any pips).
  • Finely slice the duck, place on the toasts, dotting any extra slices in between, then add the oranges in and around.
  • Dress the watercress with any resting juices on the board, then sprinkle over.
  • Finely grate or crumble over the walnuts, sprinkle from a height with a little extra seasoning, and serve.
