Smoked Duck And Walnuts With Winter Greens Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk first 9 ingredients in small bowl until well blended. Season dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature and whisk before using.)
• If using tangerines, remove peel; separate into segments. If using oranges, cut off peel and white pith; cut between membranes to release segments into bowl. Toss endive, frisée, radicchio, and watercress in large bowl with enough dressing to coat.
• Divide salad among 8 plates. Top each with smoked duck, onion rings, and tangerine or orange segments. Sprinkle with walnuts and pomegranate seeds. Drizzle with some of remaining dressing.

Steps:

• Cook honey and balsamic together over medium-high heat in a large saute pan, about 5 minutes. Toast walnuts in a small skillet; set aside to cool.
• Pile greens on a platter. Stir mustard into balsamic-honey dressing, then whisk in about 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil; pour over greens. Season greens with salt and pepper and garnish with walnuts, pomegranate seeds, shavings of Parmesan, and shallot.

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add your sliced sprouts and cabbage, then boil for 2 mins. Drain, rinse in cold water to cool, then drain well again. Soften the sliced shallots in a frying pan with the butter and oil until meltingly soft. Cover the veg separately with cling film and chill for up to 24 hrs, until just before serving.
• While your turkey is resting, tip shallots back into your largest frying pan with the stock and heat until simmering. Stir in the blanched sprouts, cabbage and frozen peas and cook for 2-3 mins until all the veg is tender and stock reduced. Season and stir in the walnuts just before serving
