Equipment

  • oven

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 140C/120C fan/gas
  2. Prick the duck skin all over with a fork dont go too deep or youll puncture the meat instead and lose all the juices during cooking. Push the whole peach up into the ducks cavity, neatly tuck in any excess fat and tie the legs together with string. Using a pestle and mortar, grind together the Chinese five-spice, Sichuan pepper and sea salt. Rub all over the duck and sit, breast-side down, on a rack in a roasting tin. Roast for 3 hrs.
  3. Meanwhile, put the peaches, cut-side up, in a snug-ish ovenproof dish.
  4. Mix the honey, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and hoisin with 3 tbsp water.
  5. Pour over the peaches, then scatter over the sesame seeds.
  6. Lift the duck out of the oven and drain off any fat in the tin. Turn up the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and flip the duck over so it is now breast-side up. Roast for 30 mins more, with the peaches on the shelf below, until the duck is brown and crispy and the peaches are tender.
  7. Serve with jasmine rice and shredded spring onions.
