This dish featured as part of James's Pomegranate masterclass. Succulent duck served with a tabbouleh salad, red cabbage and a delicious sauce made with pomegranate molasses.
Pan fry the duck until crisp then cook for 5 to 6 minutes in the oven. Brush with molasses and rest.
To make the tabbouleh, add all the remaining ingredients to the bulgur wheat, stir.
Salt the cabbage for 5 minutes then rinse with cold water. Drain then mix with all the remaining ingredients.
For the sauce, add the stock to the duck pan having drained off most of the fat. Bring to the boil, reduce slightly then finish with vinegar and butter.
