Ingredients:
- 1 duck breast
- 2 oz. honey
Sweet Potato Mash Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato, boiled
- 2 oz. butter
- 2 Tbsp cream
- salt and freshly ground pepper
Shallot and Red Wine sauce Ingredients:
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped

- 2 Tbsp red wine
- 4 oz. beef stock
Decoration Ingredients:
- 2 asparagus spears, trimmed and blanched

Preparation:
Cook the sweet potato in salted boiling water. Drain. Meanwhile, pan fry the duck in a hot ovenproof frying pan. Place the honey in the bottom of the pan and the duck skin side down. Fry the duck for 6 minutes on each side before placing in a hot oven.
Roast the duck in the oven for 5 minutes. While the duck is in the oven, make the shallot and red wine sauce. In a small pan sauté the shallot and garlic in the butter for 2 minutes. Add the red pepper. Add the red wine and stock and cover. Bring to the boil, then simmer.
Mash the sweet potato, adding the butter and cream for flavor. When the duck is ready, place the breast on a bed of mashed sweet potato. Decorate with blanched asparagus spears and baby carrots. Top with the shallot and red wine sauce. If you have time, leave the duck to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
