Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 15 minutes, plus marinating time

Cooking Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

4 free-range duck breasts
200 g bok choy
200 g tatsoi
2 cups chopped litchis

For the marinade, combine

2 star anise
3 t Chinese five-spice
1 cup teriyaki sauce
2 T olive oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Juice of 1/2 a lemon

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Score the duck fat. Pour over the marinade and leave for 30 minutes.

In a nonstick pan over a very high heat, place the duck breasts skin side down and sear for 2 minutes a side. Then transfer to the oven for 15 minutes, or until cooked through to your liking.

Blanch the bok choy and tatsoi in a little hot water. Drain and squeeze over the lemon juice.

Slice the duck breasts and arrange on the wilted greens. Add the remaining marinade and litchi to a pan and quickly stir-fry until heated through and coated. Serve warm with the duck.
