Duck Breast

Brussel Sprouts

Golden Raisin Port Wine Sherry Vinegar Gastrique

Method

Roasting Duck Breast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

    Score the skin of the duck breast in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Duck

    Place the duck breast skin-side down in a cold, dry skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Finish Cooking

    Flip the duck breast and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Brussel Sprouts

  1. 4

    Prepare the Brussel Sprouts

    Trim the ends of the brussel sprouts and cut them in half. Toss with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

  2. 5

    Roast

    Spread brussel sprouts on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden and tender.

Wild Mushroom Risotto

  1. 6

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.

  2. 7

    Cook Rice

    Add Arborio rice and stir for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add vegetable broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until absorbed.

  3. 8

    Finish with Mushrooms and Cheese

    In the last 5 minutes, add the wild mushrooms. Once the rice is creamy and al dente, stir in grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Golden Raisin Gastrique

  1. 9

    Cook the Gastrique

    Combine golden raisins, port wine, sherry vinegar, and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
