Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Trim any excess fat and score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern. Place them in a small roasting tin. Add the crushed garlic, smoked paprika, chilli powder, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and a good pinch of salt. Mix well to coat the duck completely, then turn the breasts skin-side up. Roast for 25–30 minutes until the skin is golden and the meat is juicy and pink in the centre.

Step 2.
While the duck roasts, drain and rinse the black beans. Transfer them to a saucepan over medium heat. Mash the beans with a potato masher until fairly smooth. Add 55ml (scant ¼ cup) water, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, ground cumin, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper and mix well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and thickened. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside.

Step 3.
To make the salsa, place the quartered red onion, drained sun-dried tomatoes, smoked paprika, a pinch of salt, and lime juice in a food processor. Blend until smooth, then pour into a serving bowl.

Step 4.
Finely slice the lettuce and chop the coriander leaves. Arrange them on a serving plate. Place a large tortilla on each of four serving plates. Spread the warm black bean mixture evenly over each tortilla. Slice the roasted duck breasts and arrange the slices on top of the beans. Serve immediately with the lettuce-coriander salad and salsa on the side.
