Instruction manual

Healthy sweet potato (perfect for low
GI diets) makes a deliciously satisfying
mash. Its slight sweetness makes it an
excellent accompaniment to roasted
spicy duck legs. Make the mash while
the duck is cooking.

SPICY DISHES
• Preheat oven to 180C/350F/M4
• Prick the duck legs well so the fat
can escape during cooking
• Mix together the spice and salt
and rub half into the duck skin
• Roast in a shallow dish for 30
minutes, pouring off the excess
fat halfway through
• Meanwhile, peel the potato, cut
into chunks and boil for 10-12
minutes until just tender. Drain
and return to the pan with the
remaining spiced salt and butter
• With the Dualit hand blender,
whiz to a smooth purée. Season
with pepper and stir in the
chopped herbs

of the mash with some pan juices

• Blitz, with the hand blender, in
the centre of the cream, until
thickish
• Then with a fork, stir in the liquid
cream from round the sides, until
all is thick
• This takes about a minute
Why not try whipping cream, this is a
lighter version of double cream, it
whips beautifully without being quite
so rich.
