Method
Ingredients
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the duck legs on a roasting tray lined with tinfoil, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Roast for 20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
- Score the skin of the duck breasts in a diamond pattern and seal, skin side down, in a hot, dry pan until the fat has rendered. Finish in the oven for 15 minutes, or until just pink in the middle.
- To make the poached peaches, dissolve the sugar in the water in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the peaches and simmer for 10–15 minutes, or until soft. Remove from the syrup and peel once cooled.
- To make the roast red onions, place the onions on a roasting tray and generously drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Roast until soft and cooked through.
- To make the glazed red grapes, mix the verjuice, brown sugar and pomegranate concentrate in a nonstick pan and reduce until syrupy over a high heat. Place the grapes in the pan and stir until lightly coated. Cook until the skins have blistered. Remove from the heat and serve on a platter with the duck, poached peaches and roast red onions.
