SEARED DUCK WITH POMEGRANATE MOLASSES AND ISRAELI COUSCOUS
Steps:
- Sprinkle both sides of the duck breasts with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil to a large saute pan and place the duck in the pan skin-side down. Place the pan over medium-low heat and cook the duck breasts low and slow to allow the fat to render, spooning out and reserving the fat as it renders, until the skin gets nice and crispy, 8 to 9 minutes. Turn the duck over and cook until well-seared on the flesh side, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the duck from the pan, cover with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes.
- Pour off and reserve any remaining duck fat, then add the pomegranate molasses to the pan and cook over low heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring the chicken stock and saffron to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and set aside to steep.
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Cook the haricots verts until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes, then shock in the ice water. Cut in half on a bias and set aside.
- In the same pot, boil the couscous until partially cooked but still with a little bite to it, approximately 8 minutes. Strain and lay the couscous on a sheet pan to cool. Set aside.
- Sweat the onion and garlic in a couple tablespoons of duck fat in a large saute pan over medium heat, along with the crushed red pepper and a pinch of salt, about 3 minutes. Add the zucchini and scallion whites and saute for about 2 more minutes. Add about 1 cup saffron stock and the couscous and bring to a simmer; cook until the couscous is cooked through, adding more saffron stock as needed, about 5 minutes more. Take the pan off the heat and stir in the almonds, apricots and haricots verts.
- Brush the pomegranate molasses on the duck breasts. Cut the breasts on a bias and plate with the couscous, topped with scallion greens and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle a bit of the pomegranate molasses over the duck and couscous.
FIVE-SPICE GRILLED DUCK WITH CITRUS SAUCE AND COUSCOUS
Steps:
- De-bone the duck and cut it into 4 pieces, reserving the bones for later use. In a large bowl, combine the five-spice blackening powder, sugar, and tea. Place the duck pieces in the bowl, and let the meat marinate for 1 hour. Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to coat the surface of the pan, and let the oil heat. Season the duck pieces with salt, if desired. Carefully add the duck pieces to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Grill until cooked to desired degree of doneness, turning each piece with tongs halfway through cooking. Serve with Citrus Sauce, Couscous, baby spinach and mango slices, if desired.
- Combine the citrus juices and zest, sugar, mustard, and eggs, and whisk well. Slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly until the mixture becomes thick. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Drizzle sauce over duck.
- Toast the trail mix in a dry medium skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant and golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the dry couscous to the skillet and continue to toast the mixture for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon. Remove pan from heat. In a large saucepot, combine the chicken stock and the duck stock and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the toasted trail mix and couscous mixture to the pot. Stir until incorporated and then cover the pot with a lid. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the couscous to simmer until it absorbs the liquid. Fluff couscous with a fork and serve.
- Place the duck bones in a large pot and add enough water to cover bones. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Let simmer for 2 hours. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Steps:
- For the sauce, fry the shallot in the oil for 5 mins or until softened but not coloured. Add the plums and sugar, stirring for a few mins until the sugar has dissolved. Add the red wine and stock, then simmer for about 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly thickened. Keep warm or leave at room temperature for up to a day before reheating to serve.
- Meanwhile, heat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/gas 4. Score the skin of the duck breasts with a sharp knife and season well with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick frying pan and place the duck breasts in, skin-side down. Fry for 6-7 mins, then turn and add the thyme, star anise and butter. Allow this to melt, basting the duck with the juices, then transfer everything to a small roasting tin and finish in the oven for 5-6 mins for pink or 10-12 mins for well done.
- When the duck is ready, baste again with the juices, then rest for 5 mins while you finish everything else.
- To serve, thinly slice each duck breast on a chopping board. Arrange on each plate along with a spoon of the Creamed potatoes, some of the plum sauce and the Buttered spinach.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. Toast the star anise and coriander seeds in a dry pan until aromatic. Tip the toasted spices into a spice grinder with 2 tsp sea salt and grind into a fine powder (or crush using a pestle and mortar). Put the spice salt in a bowl, add the sugar, mix well and set aside.
- Lightly score the skin of the duck in a criss-cross pattern and heat the oil in a large casserole. Using a pair of tongs to turn it, brown the duck well on all sides, pour off the excess fat, then sit the duck breast-side up and season all over with the sugar and spice mix. Pack the plums around the outside, then scatter over the bay and pour over the vinegar and stock.
- Roast in the oven for 2 hrs or until the duck is golden and the plums have broken down. Turn the oven right up for 10 more mins to crisp up the skin. Take the duck out of the pan to rest for 10 mins and spoon the excess fat off the plums. Carve the duck and serve with a good spoonful of plums.

BALSAMIC COUSCOUS
This is a recipe I developed when I couldn't find one that was exactly what I wanted. This is a good side dish recipe for many different menus. It's also very versatile. You can add any different kind of veggies along with the onion (celery, peas, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, corn). I use tri-color couscous in this recipe, but any kind will work.
