Preparation
1
Cook potatoes

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove any brown spots from potatoes, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • In a large pot, combine potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 10-12 min, uncovered, until fork-tender.

2
Cook duck

  • While potatoes cook, pat duck dry with paper towels.
  • Using a sharp knife, score the skin side of duck in a criss-cross pattern. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To a cold large non-stick pan, add duck, skin-side down. Cook over medium for 10-12 min, until skin is crispy. Flip duck and cook for 2-3 min, until golden.
  • Transfer duck, skin-side up, to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Reserve 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) duck fat in the pan. (NOTE: You can save remaining duck fat for another use, if you like!)
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 8-13 min, until cooked through.**

3
Prep and steep cream

  • While duck cooks, trim, then halve snap peas.
  • Trim, then halve snow peas.
  • Peel, then finely chop shallot.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
  • Roughly chop parsley.
  • Strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) thyme leaves from stems, then finely chop.
  • To a small pot, add cream, garlic, half the thyme and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) butter. Bring to a simmer over medium and cook for 3-4 min, until butter melts.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.

4
Cook veggies

  • Reheat the pan with reserved duck fat (from step 2) over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add half the shallots. Cook for 1-2 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp. Add snap peas, snow peas and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until water is absorbed and veggies are tender. Transfer to a plate, then cover to keep warm.

5
Make sauce

  • Heat the same pan over medium-low. When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then remaining shallots and remaining thyme. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until softened.
  • Add fig spread, balsamic glaze, broth concentrate and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly.

6
Finish and serve

  • When potatoes are fork-tender, drain and return to the same pot, off heat. Roughly mash steeped cream into potatoes until slightly mashed. (NOTE: 'Smashed' potatoes will still have a few chunks!) Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
  • When duck is done, transfer to a plate to rest for 3-5 min. Thinly slice duck.
  • Divide duck, mash and veggies between plates.
  • Drizzle fig sauce over duck.
  • Sprinkle parsley over top.
