Roast Duck Breast with Spiced Red Cabbage & Roasted Walnuts

Recipe:
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.

Place all the spiced cabbage ingredients in a pan and bring to the boil.
Give it a good stir then turn down to a gentle simmer. Place a lid on the pan and cook for 30 minutes until the cabbage is soft and coated in the cooking juices.

Place the walnuts on a baking tray and roast for 10 minutes.

Generously season the duck breasts with salt and pepper and place in a cold frying pan skin-side down. Cook on a medium-high heat for 6 minutes. The fat will render out of the meat, giving the skin a rich colour. Turn the duck breasts over and fry for 1 minute. Transfer to a baking tray and cook in the oven for another 6 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to rest for a few minutes.

Carve the duck and serve on top of the spiced cabbage, with the roasted walnuts and a spoon of the cabbage cooking juices.
