Duck with a maple and blackberry sauce ingredients

  • Duck breasts: 2
  • St Lawrence Gold maple syrup: 60ml
  • Blackberries (fresh/frozen): 200g
  • Shallot: 1
  • Chicken stock: 200ml
  • Mashed potatoes: As desired
  • Celeriac: 1

Duck with a maple and blackberry sauce method

  • Finely dice the shallot and sauté in a pan with a knob of butter until softened.
  • Add the blackberries, reserving a few for garnish, and cook until they begin to break down. Gently crush with the back of a fork.
  • Pour in the chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer until reduced by half. Stir through the maple syrup and keep warm.
  • Peel and dice the celeriac, then boil for 15–20 minutes until tender. Drain well and mash with the butter, cream, salt and pepper until smooth.
  • Score the duck skin, then place the breasts skin-side down in a cold pan. Gradually increase the heat to slowly render the fat.
  • Once the skin is golden and crisp, after approximately 3–4 minutes, turn the duck breasts over and cook in the oven for 4–5 minutes for a pink finish.
  • Remove the duck from the oven and leave to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Plate and finish

  1. Spoon a generous portion of the celeriac mash onto the plate.
  2. Add a few spoonfuls of the maple and blackberry sauce around the mash.
  3. Place the duck breast on top of the mash.
  4. Scatter over the remaining blackberries and serve immediately.
