2 hrs 15 mins plus cooling time
Super easy
serves 6
Ingredients
1 Gressingham duck, giblets removed
Maldon sea salt
2 tablespoons Chinese five-spice
2 tablespoons crème fraîche
juice of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons English mustard
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ a celeriac, peeled and chopped into matchsticks
2 red-skinned pears, chopped into matchsticks
a small bunch of fresh flat-leaf parsley, leaves picked and roughly chopped
Method
- This French-style salad is a great, easy celeriac recipe and a gorgeous contrast with the rich duck.
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
- Rub the duck with a generous amount of Maldon sea salt and the five-spice powder. Place it upside down on a roasting tray and roast for one hour. Then turn the duck the right side up, drain off any fat from the tray and roast for another hour.
- While you allow the duck to cool, make your remoulade. Put the crème fraîche, lemon juice and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Add the celeriac, pears and most of the parsley, and carefully combine.
- Divide your remoulade between six small bowls and scatter with a little more chopped parsley. Shred the cooled duck with a couple of forks or your hands, and serve alongside the remoulade. Fantastic!
