  • Time preparation 30
  • cook time 0
  • Serve Serves 0

  • 1/2 cauliflower
  • 1 bulb of fennel, finely sliced
  • Salt
  • 1 tbsp of chopped chives
  • 1 handful of cobnuts, cut into small pieces
  • 1 tbsp of hazelnut oil
  • 1 Gressingham duck breast
  • 100g of Romanesco florets

Prepare the duck breast by removing the fat and sinew with a sharp knife. Wrap the breast in cling film and place in the freezer

Remove the breast from the freezer when firm and semi-frozen, about 30 minutes. Using a very sharp knife, slice across the breast into thin slices and fan evenly across 4 plates. Cover each with cling film and store in the fridge until required

For the romanesco cauliflower, use the fine setting on a grater to create a cous cous-like texture. Place in a bowl and season to taste with salt and hazelnut oil

To serve the carpaccio, remove the plates from the fridge and allow to stand for 5-10 minutes so they are not too cold. Sprinkle the romanesco 'couscous', some fennel and the cobnuts evenly over the duck. Finish with a small drizzle of hazelnut oil and a sprinkling of chives.
