Kids’ plate: Duck Mash Mountain
On the plate: Shredded duck, a scoop of parsnip mash and soft green beans, sage leaves left off.
Make it a game: Pile the mash into a mountain, hide the duck underneath, and dig for treasure with a spoon.
Set it aside at step 6, before the grown-ups’ sauce or spice goes on.
