Duck

Manchego Corn Grits

Asparagus

Blackberry Ginger Glaze

Method

Preparing the Duck

  1. 1

    Season the Duck

    Rub the half duck with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and set aside.

  2. 2

    Roast the Duck

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the duck on a roasting rack in a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast for approximately 1 hour, or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Making Manchego Corn Grits

  1. 3

    Cook Corn Grits

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Slowly whisk in the corn grits and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes until thickened.

  2. 4

    Add Creaminess

    Stir in the milk, grated Manchego cheese, butter, and salt. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture is creamy.

Preparing Asparagus

  1. 5

    Roast the Asparagus

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the fresh asparagus with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.

Making Blackberry Ginger Glaze

  1. 6

    Cook the Glaze

    In a small saucepan, combine fresh blackberries, grated ginger, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the blackberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

Plating the Dish

  1. 7

    Assemble the Plate

    On a plate, serve a portion of the Manchego corn grits, top with the crispy half duck, arrange roasted asparagus on the side, and drizzle with the blackberry ginger glaze.
