For the duck
Poach the duck breasts in a water bath at 60 degrees C for 40 minutes, and allow to cool. Gently remove the skin from the breast without tearing the flesh and reserve the skin. Cut the breast in half lengthways down the centre cover and keep in the fridge until later. Bake the skin between two baking sheets at 160 degrees C for 20 minutes then remove the top tray and bake until golden, drain on kitchen paper. When cool chop into small pieces and keep in an airtight container. Reduce the soy, honey and red wine to a glaze and add the chicken stock adjust to a coating consistency and keep till later
Sprouts
Remove the nice outside leaves and blanch in boiling salted water for 20 seconds. Shred the rest of the sprouts and sweat quickly in the butter and pinch of salt, add the chicken stock boil, add the spinach and blend to a smooth thick spreadable consistency. This must be done very quickly to keep the fresh taste and green colour. Whisk the vinegar, Dijon and rapeseed oil together to make a dressing for the sprout leaves and keep to one side.
Apple
Mix the sugar with 20g of the water and thyme and bring to a caramel, heat the other 50g of water and whisk into the caramel Peel and core the apple, cut in to quarters and then cut into nice slices, when the caramel has cooled spoon into vacuum pack bags and compress with the slices of apple.
