This time will depend on the size of the flowerettes you use – the smaller the less time. However, do not over boil as they will not hold their shape to serve as a salad (approx 5–7 minutes is best). Strain and keep warm. Pan fry and oven roast the duck (or char grill until medium) let rest for 5 minutes, loosely covered with foil, then slice finely. Meanwhile, whisk the oil, mustard and marjoram in a salad bowl. When combined, whisk in the vinegar. Add cauliflower and duck to salad dressing – season with black pepper – add the mushrooms and toss gently. Decorate with micro herbs and the egg quarters with yolk showing.
