Cooking Steps
- 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.
- To a large pot, add 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. Cook for 10-12 min, until fork-tender.
- Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat. Set aside.
- Pat duck dry with paper towels.
- On a separate cutting board, using a sharp knife, score 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 8-12 min, until skin is crispy.
- Transfer duck to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side up.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- To a small heat-proof bowl, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) duck fat. Set aside. Discard any remaining duck fat.
- Roast duck in the middle of the oven for 8 - 13 min, until cooked through.**
- When duck is done, transfer to a plate to rest for 3-5 min.
- Meanwhile, on a clean cutting board, core, then thinly slice pear.
- Thinly slice chives.
- In a large bowl, whisk together half the vinegar, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) fig spread and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add spinach and pears. (TIP: Do not toss salad until step 6.)
- When duck is done and resting, reheat the same pan (from step 3) over medium-high.
- When hot, add mustard, remaining fig spread, remaining vinegar and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook for 1-3 min, stirring occasionally, until fig spread melts and glaze thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Into potatoes, roughly mash half the goat cheese, half the chives, reserved duck at and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) milk. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in any duck resting juices into glaze.
- Toss salad.
- Thinly slice duck.
- Divide duck, smashed potatoes and salad between plates.
- Spoon glaze over duck, then sprinkle with remaining chives.
- Sprinkle salad topping mix and remaining goat cheese over salad.
