Creedy Carver duck breasts 2 Chinese five spice 1 tsp Mixed spice 1 tsp Clear honey 4 tbsp Olive oil 3 tbsp Salt and freshly ground pepper to season Brown sugar 1 tbsp

In a bowl, mix together the spices, honey, sugar and olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Trim a little of the fat from the sides of the breasts and season with a little salt. Place the duck breasts skin side down into a frying pan, and cook on a moderate heat. At regular intervals, pour away the excess fat into a heat proof bowl. Once the fat is golden brown, turn the breasts over and cook for 3-4 minutes more. Remove any excess fat and pour the honey and spice mix over the duck breasts. Cook for a further 2 minutes, turning after 1 minute. Remove the duck breasts from the pan and place them onto a wire cooling rack (skin side up). Pour the honey and spice mix over the duck and allow to rest for 5-6 minutes. Serve with sautéed potatoes and kale or noodles and fried veg.
