Recipe idea

Roast duck, watermelon and purple mizuna

A cooked-duck salad with juicy fruit and young leaves for warm service.

What the greens add

Mizuna offers freshness, texture and a gently peppery edge against duck fat and sweet fruit. Its purple contrasts with watermelon and browned meat.

At the pass

Keep leaves out of the dressing until the pass and distribute them within the dish for several complete bites.

Ingredients and preparation

Indicative build for 1 portion; adjust after tasting.

Indicative ingredients

  • Illustrative 1-portion build: 80 g fully cooked shredded roast duck
  • 75 g watermelon; 15 g cucumber
  • 5 g spring onion; 4 g toasted sesame
  • Dressing: 5 ml soy sauce, 5 ml lime juice, 5 ml oil and ginger to taste
  • 6 g purple mizuna baby leaf, adjust by tasting

Suggested preparation

  1. Prepare duck using the kitchen's validated cooking procedure and shred it; cut and drain watermelon and cucumber.
  2. Mix the dressing and apply sparingly to duck, fruit and spring onion just for service.
  3. Plate loosely, fold in mizuna at the end and finish with sesame.

Another possibility

Use fully cooked roast chicken and firm peach instead of duck and watermelon.

Recipe idea

Beetroot, goat's cheese and purple mizuna

A warm beetroot starter with cheese cream, oat crunch and young leaves.

What the greens add

The young leaf adds texture and a gentle brassica note against creamy cheese. Purple echoes the beetroot and stands out against white.

At the pass

Use individual cut leaves with their edges visible; avoid a tall bouquet that is awkward to eat.

Ingredients and preparation

Indicative build for 1 portion; adjust after tasting.

Indicative ingredients

  • Illustrative 1-portion build: 100 g roasted beetroot
  • 30 g fresh goat's cheese; 10 g yoghurt
  • 12 g crumbled savoury oat biscuit; 6 g pistachio
  • 6 ml olive oil; 3 ml balsamic vinegar; salt
  • 5 g purple mizuna baby leaf, adjust for leaf size and intensity

Suggested preparation

  1. Cut and dress beetroot with oil and vinegar; blend cheese and yoghurt into a cream.
  2. Arrange cream, beetroot and oat crunch without completely covering the pieces.
  3. Add pistachio and place purple mizuna at the pass over the warm beetroot and cream.

Another possibility

Swap beetroot for roasted pumpkin for an orange-purple contrast.

Is this the same stage as a small microgreen?

This selection is baby leaf, more developed than a microgreen; adjust the portion to its size.
