Serves 4  
Four Duck Breasts

300gm jar spanks Savoury Orange Relish

Dry Ginger

Enough sprouts for four

Butter and olive oil

Honey and nutmeg

Salt and pepper


Heat oven to 180º C, score the fatty side of the duck breasts, season with salt, pepper and dry ginger. Heat a dry frying pan until very hot, add the breasts, fat side down, until browned. Turn over and brown the flesh side. Put the pan into the oven and cook for 20 mins (the middle will be still quite pink) Boil the brussels al dente, drain and add a knob of butter, a dash of olive oil, a pinch of nutmeg, a tsp of honey and salt and pepper. Blend using a hand blender. Keep warm. Take duck out of the oven and wrap in foil to keep warm. Return the pan to the heat and drain off half the fat. Add the jar of Savoury Orange Relish to the pan and reduce on a high heat for a few minutes. Add the duck, fat side down and continue to reduce for another minute or so. The compote should be thicker now.
To serve slice the duck at an angle, pour over the sauce and serve with your finest wine! Bon appetit and we hope you enjoy your spanks.
