When in season, I like to make this recipe with Brussels sprouts, too. It’s a good use for any duck (or pork) fat you have left over after a roast. Serve with any of the more robust winter meats such as duck, a roast of any kind, or even a braise of beef or lamb.

Ingredients

60ml (¼ cup) duck fat*, lard or extra virgin olive oil
200g (about 4 rashers) good-quality smoked bacon, rind removed, roughly chopped
8 garlic cloves, sliced
2 large heads broccoli, trimmed, cut into large florets

Preparation

Heat duck fat in a large, heavy-based frying pan over medium heat. Add bacon and garlic, and cook stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes or until starting to brown. Add broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, for a further 10 minutes or until broccoli is tender. (I tend to cook the broccoli until it’s soft – not bright green – using a lid if necessary so it steams a little as the bottom fries.)

* Duck fat is available canned from selected greengrocers, butchers and delis. Lard is available from butchers and supermarkets.

As seen in Feast magazine, Issue 9, pg42.
