Method

    Start cooking your rice.

  • 2)

    Knock the duck breast off from the duck and salt the skin.

  • 3)

  • 4)

    Remove the offcuts and add the duck breasts into the pan skin side down for 6 minutes.

    In another pan, render off more duck fat (or alternative oil) and fry off two tablespoons of Thai red curry paste.

  • 6)

    Add your coconut cream to the pan and stir together.

  • 7)

    Add one tablespoon of fish sauce, one tablespoon of honey, the zest of one lime and ½ a lime juice.

  • 8)

    Flip your duck breast and give it another 4-5 minutes on the other side (for a medium rare finish depending on the size of the breast).

  • 9)

    Prep your garnish by finely slicing one red chilli and a few spring onions.

  • 10)

    Remove your duck breast from the pan and set to one side to rest for the equal amount of cooking time.
