Duck Breast

Ginger-Spiced Sweet Potato Purée

Apple Butter

Apple Pecan Gremolata

Method

Prepare Duck Breast

  1. 1

    Score the Duck Breasts

    Score the skin of the duck breasts in a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season with salt, pepper, and ground ginger.

  2. 2

    Sear the Duck

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down and sear for 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium-rare.

  3. 3

    Rest the Duck

    Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Make Sweet Potato Purée

  1. 4

    Cook Sweet Potatoes

    Boil sweet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 5

    Blend the Purée

    In a blender, combine sweet potatoes, butter, ground ginger, cinnamon, salt, and milk. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Prepare Apple Butter

  1. 6

    Cook Apples

    In a saucepan, combine diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until apples are soft and mixture thickens, about 30-40 minutes.

  2. 7

    Blend Apple Butter

    Blend the mixture until smooth and let cool.

Make Apple Pecan Gremolata

  1. 8

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix finely diced apple, chopped pecans, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and salt until well combined.
