Duck and apple is a classic combination, and adding the celeriac makes it not just a sauce but a complete meal. Pre-heat a ribbed griddle or heavy-bottomed frying pan. Meanwhile, for celeriac mash, place the potatoes and celeriac into a pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Pass the cooked potatoes and celeriac through a ricer (or mash with a potato masher) until smooth, then return to the pan.

Steps to make Holiday inspired pan fried duck with celeriac mash and fig sauce:
  1. Chop the celeriac and potatoes and add them to a pot of cold water. Season with salt and bring to the boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer until soft.
  2. Once cooked, strain the vegetables and mash. Add the creme fraiche and finely grated nutmeg and keep mashing until smooth. Season and put in a warm oven.
  3. Prepare the duck - score the skin, season on both sides and then place the duck skin side down on a hot non-stick pan over a medium heat. Cook for 15 - 18 minutes. After about two or three minutes add the Garlic and thyme
  4. Meanwhile prepare your sauce. Finely chop the figs and add to a pan with a little olive oil. Fry for 2 mins. Turn up the heat and add a good lug of red wine and allow to reduce. Then add a little sugar, the chutney and a dash of balsamic vinegar. Reduce the heat and allow to cook. Add water as you go to keep it saucey. Cook for about 10 minutes.
  5. After 15-18 minutes of cooking skin side down, flip your duck breasts and cook for another two minutes on the other side.
  6. Remove from the heat and leave to rest while you prepare your plates, cook your veg and make sure your celeriac is warm.
  7. Slice the duck (it should be pink) and serve.

Add the butter and cream and mix well, then season, to taste, with salt. Duck breasts make a great main course for entertaining - they are quick to cook and full of flavour. This easy recipe serves them in a creamy, peppery thyme sauce with celeriac mash. Reheat the mash and divide between two plates. Add the well-drained raisins to the pan, drizzle the honey over it, caramelise and deglaze with the vinegar.
