Ingredients

4 tbsp walnuts
2 tbsp olive oil
4 duck breasts
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 large red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp ground cumin
4 tbsp pomegranate molasses
2 tbsp water
Seeds from 1/2 a pomegranate
2 tbsp mint leaves, chopped

Method

Preheat oven to 180C. Roast walnuts for 5 minutes or until lightly coloured. Cool then roughly chop.

In a heavy-based pan over a medium heat, heat the olive oil and cook the duck breast, skin side down, for about 7 mins or until golden and crisp. Season with salt and pepper and cook on the other side for a couple of minutes. Place duck breasts on a tray and finish cooking in the oven for about 5 mins.

Pour some of the excess fat from the pan and add the sliced onion. Cook gently until softened, then add the cumin. Stir and cook for a minute, then add the pomegranate molasses and water. Remove the duck breasts to a warm place and allow to rest.Finish the sauce by simmering for about 5 mins to reduce and thicken. Add the pomegranate seeds, walnuts, chopped mint and season with salt.

To serve

Slice duck, pour over the sauce and serve.
