  1. KEEN ON Quinoa

    Place a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, add the sliced Onion and fry for 2-3 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the rub and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the rinsed Quinoa, and 200ml of salted water. Pop on a lid and bring to a simmer. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the quinoa is tender and its tails have popped out, adding more water during cooking if required. Drain if necessary and return to the pot. Replace the lid and allow to stand off of the heat for at least 5 minutes.

  2. ADD SOME COLOUR

    Cut ½ the Orange into rounds. Cut off the rind and discard. Rinse and slice the radish into rounds. Rinse and pick the mint. In a salad bowl, combine the vinegar, 5ml of a sweetener of choice, seasoning, and 10ml of oil. Set aside.

  3. DELICIOUS DUCK

    Pat the duck dry with 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 medium heat, letting the duck fat render while the pan heats up. Fry for 5-8 minutes until the skin is crispy. Turn the heat up to medium-high and drain the excess duck fat. Flip the duck breast, and cook for 4-5 minutes on the other side until cooked through. Remove from the pan and rest for 3 minutes. Slice and season to taste.

  4. A FRESH TAKE

    In the bowl with the vinegar dressing, add the cooked Quinoa, ½ the sunflower seeds, the radish rounds, ½ the picked mint, and ½ the dried cranberries. Toss until combined.

  5. A STYLISH SALAD

    Plate up the Quinoa salad. Top with the Orange rounds and side with the duck slices. Sprinkle over the remaining sunflower seeds, mint, and dried cranberries. Delish, Chef!
