Seared Duck Breast with Cranberry Braised Cabbage

ingredients:

• 1 brown onion, sliced
• ½ red cabbage
• 50g castor sugar
• 1 cup Ocean Spray® Cranberry Pomegranate fruit drink
• 2 heaped tbspn of Ocean Spray® Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce
• 4 duck breasts with skin on
• Salt and pepper

In a hot pan, sauté the onion until golden, add cabbage, castor sugar, Cranberry Pomegranate fruit drink and Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce.

Turn the heat down and put a lid on the pot, continue to cook for a further 20 minutes stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile trim the duck breasts and score the skin. Sear in a very hot pan skin side down, and then finish in a 180 degree oven for a further 8 minutes, do not turn the breasts over, they should cook on the skin.

Season the cabbage with salt and pepper and arrange a neat pile in the centre of the plate with the duck breast on top.

Serving Suggestion

Add some mash potato and veal jus to make it a complete gourmet meal. Duck can be easily replaced with chicken or veal.
