Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C / fan 200C / gas mark 7. Bring a saucepan filled with salted hot water to a boil. Peel and roughly chop the potatoes, then add to the saucepan. Simmer for 18-20 mins, until soft, then drain. Return to the pan and mash with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan on medium-high heat. Season the duck with sea salt. Add the duck and cook, skin-side down, for 4-5 mins, until crispy. Flip and cook for 1-2 mins. Transfer to a lined baking tray, skin-side up, and bake for 8-10 mins, until cooked through. Leave to rest then thinly slice against the grain.
- Trim and finely slice the cabbage. Finely chop or crush the garlic cloves. Peel the courgette into ribbons. Very finely slice the fennel. Place the fennel and courgette into a mixing bowl with the yoghurt, mustard and half the garlic and mix to combine. Season generously with sea salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Reheat the duck pan on medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and cook for 2-3 mins, until wilted. Stir in the remaining garlic, cook for 1 min, then remove from the heat. Season with sea salt.
- Add the cabbage to the potato mash, mix to combine, then shape into 4 potato cakes. Clean the cabbage frying pan then reheat with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the potato cakes and cook for 3-4 mins, per side, until golden brown.
- Serve the duck on plates with the potato cakes and fennel remoulade.
