Rather than go for the standard roast duck and orange sauce, I've adapted the ingredients into a salad.

Ingredients

2 duck breasts
Sea salt
Freshly ground white pepper
Vegetable oil
60ml sherry vinegar
100ml extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp grated orange rind
50g curly endive, washed
1 witlof, trimmed
1 handful watercress, picked and washed
1 handful rocket, picked and washed
1 large orange, segmented

Method

Preheat oven to 180C. Season duck breasts. Heat ovenproof frypan with a dash of oil and brown duck breasts on both sides. Place skin side down, transfer to the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Remove and leave to rest in a warm place for 15 minutes. Whisk the vinegar, olive oil and orange rind and season to make the vinaigrette. Toss watercress, rocket and orange segments and dress with vinaigrette. Thinly slice duck breast and add to salad. Divide between four plates and serve.
