Duck Breast

Vegetables

Vinaigrette

Method

Preparing the Duck

  1. 1

    Score the Duck Breast

    Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck breast in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.

  2. 2

    Season the Duck

    Rub the duck breasts with salt and black pepper. Let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cook the Duck

    In a cold skillet, place the duck breasts skin-side down. Turn the heat to medium and slowly render the fat for about 8-10 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes, then brush with honey during the last minute of cooking.

  4. 4

    Rest the Duck

    Remove the duck from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Preparing the Vegetables and Vinaigrette

  1. 5

    Prepare the Carrots and Treviso

    Peel and julienne the carrots. Chop the treviso into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 6

    Cook the Carrots

    Blanch the carrots in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then shock in ice water to maintain their color. Drain and set aside.

  3. 7

    Prepare the Quince

    Core and slice the quince thinly. Optionally, poach the slices in water with a bit of sugar until tender.

  4. 8

    Make the Kiwi Vinaigrette

    In a blender, combine kiwi, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.

Plating

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    Slice the duck breast and arrange it on a plate with the blanched carrots, treviso, and quince slices. Drizzle with kiwi vinaigrette and serve.
