Duck Breast with Pomegranate and Citrus Couscous

For the duck breast with pomegranate and lemon couscous, preheat the oven to 170 °C.

Mix the couscous with cardamom and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Pour 300 ml of boiling water over it, stir it through and let it stand for about 10 minutes.

Then peel the orange and grapefruit. Remove the pulp, cut into small pieces and add to the couscous. Grate and squeeze the zest of the lime and mix the zest and juice to the couscous. Season with harissa, oil and finely chopped coriander.

Wash the duck breasts, pat dry well and make a diamond-shaped incision in the skin on the top. Heat a frying pan without adding fat and sear the duck breasts, skin side down, for 5 minutes. Turn and fry briefly for 1 minute more.

Cook duck breast in oven, skin side up, for 5 minutes. Then wrap in aluminum foil and let rest on a plate for 5 minutes.

Arrange couscous in serving rings on plates. Cut pomegranate in half and scoop out seeds with a wooden spoon. Slice duck breast, arrange on plates with pomegranate seeds and garnish with remaining cilantro.

Serve the duck breast with pomegranate and citrus couscous hot.
