Cooking Steps

Roast potatoes and prep
1
  • Halve potatoes.
  • Strip 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) thyme leaves from the stems, then roughly chop.
  • Add potatoes, half the thyme and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown, 25-28 min. (NOTE: At the halfway point, you will add the duck fat from step 4.) 
  • Meanwhile, zest, then juice orange.
  • Zest lemon, then juice half (use all for 4 ppl).
  • Trim green beans.
Cook beans and toast almonds
2
  • Add green beans to the boiling water. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, 1-2 min. 
  • Drain green beans and return to the same pot, off heat. Add garlic spread, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) lemon zest and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then cover to keep warm.
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. 
  • When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden, 3-4 min. (TIP: Make sure they don't burn!)
  • Remove from heat, then transfer to a plate.
Prep and sear duck
3
  • Carefully rinse and wipe the pan clean.
  • Pat duck dry with paper towels.
  • Using a sharp knife, score skin side in a criss-cross pattern. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add duck to the same dry pan, skin-side down.
  • Heat the pan over medium. Cook until skin is crispy, 8-12 min.
  • Flip and cook until golden-brown, 2-3 min.
  • Transfer duck to another parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side up.
  • Carefully reserve duck fat in a small heat-proof bowl.
Roast duck and finish potatoes
4
  • Roast duck in the top of the oven until cooked through, 8-13 min.**
  • When done, transfer duck to a plate to rest for 3-5 min. 
  • Meanwhile, carefully remove potatoes from the oven.
  • Drizzle 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) duck fat over potatoes.
  • Toss to coat, then continue roasting potatoes for 5-6 min, until golden-brown and cooked through.
Start sauce
5
  • Heat the same pan (from step 3) over medium.
  • Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot.
  • When the pan is hot, add remaining duck fat, then shallots. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 2-3 min.
  • Stir in orange juice, half the cornstarch (use all for 4 ppl), broth concentrate, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) sugar and 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) water. Season with salt and pepper.
