Cooking Steps

Cook duck
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Pat duck dry with paper towels. Using a sharp knife, score skin side of duck in a criss-cross pattern. Season with salt and pepper. Add duck to a cold, large non-stick pan, skin-side down. Cook over medium heat until skin is crispy, 10-12 min. Transfer duck to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side up. Roast in the bottom of the oven until cooked through, 8-12 min.** Discard all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) duck fat from the pan.When duck is done, transfer to a plate to rest, 3-5 min.

Roast potatoes
2

Meanwhile, cut potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Strip rosemary leaves from stem, then finely chop. Add potatoes, rosemary and 1 tbsp oil to a parchment-lined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, flipping halfway through, until golden-brown, 22-25 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the middle and top of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)

Prep
3

Meanwhile, peel, then cut shallot into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest orange.Cut a piece off the top and bottom ends of orange. Place a flat end on a cutting board, then cut the peel away from top to bottom to expose flesh, turning orange as you go. Place orange on its side and cut into 1/4-inch rounds.Squeeze juice from orange peels and collect any juices on the cutting board in a small bowl to get 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) orange juice. (NOTE: If you don't have enough juice, squeeze an orange slice.)

Make vinaigrette and toast almonds
4

Heat a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until golden-brown, 4-5 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer toasted almonds to a plate.While the pan heats, add vinegar, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) orange zest, 1 tsp (2 tsp) apricot spread and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk to combine.

Cook orange-apricot sauce
5

When duck is almost done roasting, heat the pan with reserved duck fat (from step 1) over medium. When hot, add shallots. Cook, stirring often, until softened slightly, 1-2 min. Sprinkle flour over shallots. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 30 sec.Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup (1 cup) water, broth concentrate, orange juice and remaining apricot spread. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer.Once simmering, cook, whisking often, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min.Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and season with salt, then stir to combine. Remove the pan from heat.

Finish and serve
6

Add arugula and spinach mix and orange slices to the bowl with vinaigrette. Toss to coat. Thinly slice duck. Divide duck, potatoes and salad between plates. Spoon orange-apricot sauce over duck. Sprinkle almonds over salad.
