METHOD

Eight-spice powder

  1. Grind the spices and salt to a fine powder in a spice grinder, or mortar and pestle.
  2. Toast the ground spices in a large frying pan over a medium heat, induction setting 6 until fragrant (2-3 minutes). Allow to cool.
  3. Store in an airtight container and use as required.

Confit duck

  1. Sprinkle each duck leg with salt, eight-spice powder and the herbs. Leave to cure for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Wash and pat dry. Place a resting rack in a medium sized gourmet oven dish. Place the duck legs on top ensuring to stretch the skin to cover the whole leg.
  3. Cover with duck fat and confit in the oven on Conventional at 110°C on shelf position 2 for 6-8 hours. The meat should nearly fall off the bone. Once cooked, carefully drain on a resting rack and leave to chill in the refrigerator.
  4. Pick the meat off the legs and keep in a container until needed.

Pickled pineapple

  1. In a medium sized saucepan, bring to the boil the kombucha, sugar, vinegar and star anise on high heat, induction setting 8.
  2. Turn off the heat, and add the pineapple and leave to macerate for at least 30 minutes, but preferably overnight.

To serve

  1. Preheat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat, induction setting 5-6. Heat the duck and warm the diced pancetta.
  2. Add the shallots and garlic and cook for a further 30 seconds.
  3. Turn up the heat to induction setting 8 and deglaze with the vinegar, maple syrup and oil.
    Season with lemon juice and mix with the kale, pickled pineapple and fermented red cabbage.
  4. Remove and slide the warm salad into a large bowl, add the frisée lettuce and basil, season well and serve on a shallow platter.
