Ingredients

  • 200g Duck Breast
  • 340g polenta
  • 80g green beans
  • 80g courgette
  • 15g balsamic vinegar
  • 5g honey
  • 3g garlic
  • 5g olive oil
  • 30g goat's cheese
  • 15g walnuts
  • 20g rocket

Method

  1. 1

    Prep everything first: wash and trim the green beans and courgette, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

  2. 2

    Whisk the polenta into simmering stock and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until thick and creamy.

  3. 3

    Pan-roast the duck breast for 4 minutes per side, then rest for 5 minutes and slice thinly.

  4. 4

    Simmer the balsamic vinegar with honey and garlic for 2-3 minutes until syrupy. Drizzle over the protein and veg.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the green beans and courgette for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

  6. 6

    Build the plate: soft polenta first, then the veg and duck breast, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the rocket.

  7. 7

    Bulking upgrade: add the goat's cheese, walnuts for extra energy-dense calories.
