GOLDEN POTATO DAUPHINOISE
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, add the sliced potato, the coconut cream, seasoning, and 65ml of water. Mix until the potatoes are fully coated. Lightly grease a small roasting tray and layer the potato mixture in the tray. Pour over the remaining cream mixture. Alternatively, create small stacks with the sliced potato. Place in the hot oven and roast for 35-40 minutes. In the final 5 minutes, turn the oven onto the grill setting or the highest temperature. On completion, the dauphinoise should be cooked through and golden.
PLUM-GLAZED DUCK BREAST
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 for 5-8 minutes until the skin is crispy. 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.) In the final minute, baste the duck with the plum sauce and a splash of water if necessary. Remove from the pan on completion and allow to rest for 3 minutes before slicing.
SAUTÉED CABBAGE
Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced cabbage for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened, shifting occasionally. In the final minute, toss through the chopped peanuts and ½ the chopped coriander. Season to taste.
