Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Roast the plums with the rest of the ingredients for 30 minutes, or until tender. Turn halfway through the cooking time.
- Meanwhile, prick the skin of the duck breasts, then pour boiling water over them and drain. Slowly brown the skin in a pan over a gentle heat, then turn and briefly brown the other side. Remove from the pan but reserve the fat for another use.
- Season the duck, then spread with the rub. Add to the plums and roast – skin-side up – for 5 minutes, or until glazed and bronzed.
- To serve, allow the duck to cool to room temperature, then slice thinly. Slice the trimmed lettuce and chicory lengthways into long shreds, then turn onto a platter. Add the duck and the halved or quartered plums. Spoon over enough pan juices to moisten. Serve with the herbed quinoa salad on the side.
