Method

Ingredients

Rinse 2 free-range duck breast portions and pat dry. Season with salt, pepper and ground ginger. Prick the skin very well.

Place skin side down in a cold pan. Turn on to a low heat and cook slowly until the skin is crisp and brown.

Flip over and quickly cook the other side. Take care not to overcook as duck is best served slightly pink and moist.

Remove with tongs and allow to rest for a few minutes. Slice and mix with the citrus dressing and serve on a mix of greens.
