Method

Duck Breast

  1. 1

    Prepare Duck Breast

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

  2. 2

    Cook Duck Breast

    Place the duck breasts skin-side down in a cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes for medium rare. Remove from skillet and let rest.

Saffron Cauliflower Purée

  1. 3

    Cook Cauliflower

    In a pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add cauliflower florets and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 4

    Blend Purée

    In a blender, combine cooked cauliflower, saffron, heavy cream, butter, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Roasted Brussels Sprouts

  1. 5

    Prepare Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the ends of the Brussels sprouts and cut them in half.

  2. 6

    Roast Brussels Sprouts

    Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy.

Potato Pavé

  1. 7

    Prepare Potatoes

    Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes using a mandoline. Layer them in a buttered baking dish, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper.

  2. 8

    Bake Potato Pavé

    Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.

Spicy Honey

  1. 9

    Combine Honey

    In a small bowl, mix honey and red chili flakes. Adjust spiciness to taste.
