Middle Eastern Spiced Duck and Sorrel Salad

  1. Combine spices, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Rub the spice mixture into the duck breasts.
  2. Place duck breasts skin-side down in a cold, dry frypan and place over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes on the skin side, to render as much fat as possible, turn and cook for 1 minute or until browned. Transfer to a 180?C oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until just pink in the centre. Remove to a plate and rest, covered for 10 minutes before slicing thickly.
  3. Arrange Wash n’Toss Sorrel in a serving platter and scatter with warm duck, dill, dates and almonds.
  4. Whisk pomegranate molasses and oil together and season to taste, drizzle over the salad and serve immediately.
