At a glance
You're working with a beautifully versatile duck breast that comes together quickly—the key is nailing the sear to keep it juicy inside while the skin crisps up. While the duck rests, you're building a warm cabbage and bacon salad that gets cooked fast and hot to stay crunchy and pick up some nice color, so timing between the two components matters.

Prepare the meat
You can prepare the duck breast however you like. If you fancy, marinate it in advance in your favourite marinade - in that case, do it at least a day before cooking.

Marinade
Carefully score the skin, cutting through the skin only and not into the meat. Make a few diagonal cuts. Then marinate the meat in whatever marinade you like - it can be slightly spicy, or just as good with simply salt and pepper.

Prepare the cabbage
Finely chop the fresh cabbage. Cut the onion into coarser pieces and the bacon into strips or small squares. Heat some lard in a large pot. Fry the bacon and onion until crispy. Add the cabbage. Season with salt and spices. If you prefer a tangier taste, add a splash of vinegar.
