Panfried duck breast on juicy plum and red cabbage served with tender asparagus ribbons

By Abigail Donnelly

Easy
15 minutes
20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 small red cabbages, shredded
  • 4 plums, cut into small wedges
  • ½ cup pomegranate molasses
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 4 duck breasts
  • 200 g asparagus, blanched
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

Add the red cabbage and plum wedges to a saucepan set over a medium heat. Drizzle over the pomegranate molasses and cook until tender, but crunchy.

Place a large, nonstick pan over a high heat. Heat the olive oil. Using a sharp knife, thinly slice the duck breasts and stir-fry in the hot oil for a few minutes, until just cooked through.

Using a vegetable peeler, slice ribbons from the blanched asparagus. Serve the duck breast with the warm red cabbage and plum, topped with the asparagus ribbons. Season to taste.

Cook’s tip: As an economical alternative, use chicken breasts instead of duck breasts.
