Method:

1. Rub the duck skin with salt and season the breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Place skin side down on a broiler pan and cook under a preheated hot broiler, about 6 inches  from the heat sources, for 10 minutes.

2. Turn the breasts over and broil for 10-15 minutes more, until the skin is crispy and the flesh still juicy and slightly pink. Let stand in a warm place.

3. Have ready a large saucepan of boiling salted water. Plunge in the broccoli raab and cook for about 5 minutes, until it is just tender. Drain thoroughly, squeezing out all the moisture, then return to the pan, season to taste, and add the butter.

4. Thinly slice the duck breasts at an angle. Divide the broccoli raab between four warmed plates and arrange the duck slices on top, pouring over any juices that have accumulated.

5. Serve with a spoonful of chili jam and a starchy vegetable of your choice.
