Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Duck

Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

2

Sear the Duck

In a hot skillet, place the duck breasts skin-side down. Sear for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

3

Prepare the Turnips

Peel and chop the turnips into small cubes. In the same skillet, add olive oil and turnips, cooking until they are tender and slightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.

4

Make the Curry Sauce

In a saucepan, add the chicken stock, curry powder, honey, and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer and let reduce for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

5

Roast the Peaches

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve the peaches and remove the pits. Place them cut-side up on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for 15-20 minutes until soft and caramelized.

6

Plate and Serve

Slice the duck breasts and arrange them on a plate with the roasted peaches and sautéed turnips. Drizzle the curry sauce over the top and serve immediately.
