Duck and mashed sweet potato bake

Step 1

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into cubes. Preheat the oven to 210°C.

Step 2

Boil the sweet potatoes for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, dice the shallots. Remove the duck meat from the thighs, leaving off the fat and the bones.

Step 4

Take the potatoes out of the microwave or remove from the heat, they should be soft (put them back in for 2 more minutes or continue cooking if they're not). Strain. Mash them using a fork, adding a bit of butter or olive oil, milk and salt and pepper.

Step 5

À l'aide d'une fourchette, écrasez les patates douces, ajoutez le lait et un peu de beurre. Salez et poivrez.

Step 6

Place the duck and shallots in an oven-proof dish.

Step 7

Cover with the mashed sweet potatoes, sprinkle on breadcrumbs. (Optional: add a few bits of butter on top so the crumbs go nice and golden)

Step 8

Bake for 15 minutes.
