Pureed Purple Sweet Potatoes with Roasted Duck

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Peel and cube the purple sweet potatoes. Place them in a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

3. 3

   While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the duck breast. Score the skin in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Rub this mixture over the duck breast.

5. 5

   Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breast skin-side down and sear for 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy.

6. 6

   Flip the duck breast and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 10-12 minutes or until the duck reaches your desired level of doneness.

7. 7

   Once the sweet potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.

8. 8

   Let the duck rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven, then slice it thinly.

9. 9

   Serve the pureed purple sweet potatoes topped with slices of roasted duck. Enjoy your meal!
