Chilli honey duck with sweet potatoes
This well rounded dish is rich, spicy and sweet, perfect for autumn or winter evenings
Method
- Mix together the honey, soy, chilli paste, garlic paste, ginger paste, sugar and oil in a bowl. Add the duck breasts, season and turn to coat. Cover and chill for at least two hours.
- Heat the oven to 200C/Gas 6. Remove the duck breasts, reserving the marinade. Put the duck, skin side down into a cold frying pan and bring up to a medium high heat until golden brown. Turn and lightly brown the other side. Transfer to a roasting tin and roast for 20 minutes
- Meanwhile, prepare the potatoes. Fry the cubes in the butter and oil, over a medium heat, stirring frequently for about 10 minutes until just soft. Add the remaining ingredients and season. Cook, stirring for 2-3 more minutes.
- Once the duck is cooked, transfer it to a board to rest for a few minutes. Remove the fat from the tin, add the marinade and bubble briefly to thicken. Cut the duck into slices and drizzle over the sauce.
