Method

This French-style salad is a great, easy celeriac recipe and a gorgeous contrast with the rich duck.
Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
Rub the duck with a generous amount of Maldon sea salt and the five-spice powder. Place it upside down on a roasting tray and roast for one hour. Then turn the duck the right side up, drain off any fat from the tray and roast for another hour.
While you allow the duck to cool, make your remoulade. Put the crème fraîche, lemon juice and mustard into a bowl, season with salt and pepper and mix well. Add the celeriac, pears and most of the parsley, and carefully combine.
Divide your remoulade between six small bowls and scatter with a little more chopped parsley. Shred the cooled duck with a couple of forks or your hands, and serve alongside the remoulade. Fantastic!
