Hands on Time: 15 - 30 minutes

- Carrot
- Cucumber
- Free-range Duck Breast
- Free-range Duck Breasts
- Fresh Mint
- Low Fat Plain Yoghurt

GOLDEN CARROTS
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the carrot wedges on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, the NOMU rub and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and crisping up, 30-35 minutes, shifting halfway.
MOTHER-IN-SLAW
When the carrots have 10 minutes remaining, place the yoghurt in a salad bowl and combine with 1 tsp of a sweetener of choice until dissolved. Mix in ¾ of the sliced mint and add the apple cider vinegar (to taste). Loosen with milk or water in 5ml increments until drizzling consistency, then toss through the sliced cabbage and cucumber half-moons until coated. Season and set aside for serving.
SEAR THE DUCK
Pat the duck dry with some paper towel. Place the duck breast in a cold pan skin-side down without oil (the duck breast will render its own fat). Place over a medium heat and let the duck fat render while the pan heats up. Fry until the skin is crispy, 5-8 minutes. Turn up the heat to medium-high and drain the excess duck fat. Flip the duck breast, and cook for 2-4 minutes on the other side (this time frame will yield a medium-rare result). Remove from the pan on completion and allow to rest for 3 minutes before slicing. Season well.
GRAB A PLATE!
Serve up the golden roasted carrots alongside the light slaw. Side with the juicy duck slices. Garnish the slaw with the seed & cranberry mix and sprinkle the remaining sliced mint over the top. Simply delish, Chef!
