Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9
  • Bring a large saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large baking dish, a medium bowl, a small bowl, a sieve & a grater

Roast the duck

  • Place the duck and all its juices into the large baking dish (skin-side up). Season with salt and pepper
  • Roast for 10-13 mins, basting the duck with its juices occasionally

Cook the quinoa

  • Meanwhile, add the quinoa to the saucepan and boil for 13-14 mins, until cooked, then drain

Make the pickled carrots & terysauce

  • Coarsely grate the carrots (peel optional)
  • Place the carrot into the medium bowl with the vinegar. Season with salt and mix
  • In the small bowl, combine the teryaki sauce, honey and Asian paste

Finish roasting

  • Trim the broccoli
  • After 10-13 mins, add the broccoli to the baking dish, alongside the duck. Drizzle with 1 tsp oil and season with salt and pepper
  • Pour the teriyaki sauce over the duck. Return to the oven and roast for a further 10-12 mins, until the duck is piping hot and the broccoli is soft and golden

Last bits & plate up

  • Return the cooked quinoa to the saucepan and stir through the ginger & garlic paste and a pinch of salt
  • Serve the quinoa into bowls, topped with the teriyaki duck, broccoli, pickled carrot and pea shoots
