Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the duck fat in a frying pan, add the clementines and fry all over until glistening and starting to brown. Add to the pan with the duck and cook for a further 15 mins, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds and parsley and This dish goes really well with couscous.

TO FREEZE: Freeze at the end of step 3 before adding the parsley and sesame seeds. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then return to the pan, bring slowly to the boil and simmer, covered, for 20 mins. Sprinkle with the parsley and sesame seeds, and serve.
