Method

1.Cook beetroot in boiling water (or steam), for 20 minutes or until tender. Peel and quarter when cool enough to handle, then set aside.

2.Gently press each pomegranate half over a juicer to extract juice and loosen seeds. Place the juice in a bowl, then using the sharp tip of a knife, remove the seeds and add to the bowl. Place warmed jelly in a bowl and whisk in oil, vinegar, mustard and 2 tablespoons pomegranate juice. Season, then set aside.

3.Preheat oven to 190°C. Heat an ovenproof non-stick frypan on medium-low heat.

4.Season duck and cook for 6-8 minutes, skinside down, until most of the fat has rendered and skin is crisp. Turn, cook for 30 seconds, then transfer pan to oven and cook for a further 5 minutes for medium-rare or until cooked to your liking. Set aside to rest.

5.Place beets, beans, leaves, feta and nuts in a bowl. Toss gently with 3 tablespoons dressing. Pile onto plates. Thinly slice duck and add to salad. Drizzle with remaining dressing and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds to serve.
