Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we've revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9. Boil a kettle. Cut the potatoes into 2cm cubes. Place in a saucepan and cover with salted boiling water. Simmer for 18-20 mins until soft, then drain. Return to the pan and mash with the yoghurt, nutritional yeast, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Strip the cavolo nero leaves from the stalk and roughly chop. Heat a dry, frying pan on medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast for 2 mins, until golden. Remove and set aside. Season the duck with sea salt.
Reheat the pan to medium-high heat. Add the duck, skin-side down, and cook for 5-6 mins, until golden brown. Flip, add 2 rosemary sprigs and cook for 2 mins. Transfer the rosemary and duck, skin-side up, to an ovenproof baking dish. Spread half the honey evenly over the skin. Bake for 6-8 mins, until cooked through. Remove and leave to rest before thinly slicing against the grain.
Reheat the duck pan to medium heat. Add the cavolo nero and whole tomatoes. Cook for 3-4 mins, until the cavolo nero wilts and the tomatoes burst. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Transfer the cavolo nero and tomatoes to serving plates.
Reheat the pan to high heat and add 100ml water (50ml for 1 person). Stir in the remaining honey and duck cooking juices from the baking dish. Cook for 1-2 mins, to make a sauce. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Finely chop the remaining rosemary.
Serve the mash alongside the cavolo nero, tomatoes and duck. Garnish with pine nuts and rosemary. Pour over the sauce.
