NO ORDINARY MASH
Place a pot of cold, salted water over high heat. Add the potato chunks and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until soft. Drain and mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Then, stir through a splash of milk or water, a knob of butter (optional), the crumbled blue cheese (to taste), and seasoning.
SHRED IT UP
While the potatoes are boiling, remove the duck from the packaging. Scrape the meat off the bone. Using two forks, one to secure the duck and the other to shred, gently shred the duck. Discard the bones, large pieces of fat, and any bits of gristle.
READY TO RAGÙ
Boil the kettle. Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion & carrot. Fry for 4-6 minutes until soft and starting to brown, shifting occasionally. Add the tomato paste and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the wine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until almost all evaporated.
SIMMERING AWAY
Once the wine has almost all evaporated, add the tomato passata, 100ml of boiling water, salt, pepper, and a sweetener of choice to the pan. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until slightly reduced. Add an extra splash of water if the sauce reduces too quickly. In the final 5-6 minutes, add the shredded duck. Season to taste.
CRUNCHY FRESHNESS
In a salad bowl, combine the rinsed salad leaves, the apple slices, the chopped walnuts, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
EAT UP
Pile up the blue cheese mash and side with the flavourful duck ragù. Serve the apple & walnut salad alongside and garnish with the chopped parsley. Dig in, Chef!
