Pico de Gallo

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Duck

    In a bowl, combine the duck breasts with the pastor marinade, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauté

    While the duck is marinating, thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté for 1 minute. Add the Brussels sprouts and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Pico de Gallo

    In a mixing bowl, combine diced pineapple, tomatillos, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Duck

    Remove the duck breasts from the marinade and sear them in a hot skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked to your desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    On a plate, arrange the sautéed Brussels sprouts, top with the sliced duck breast, and garnish with the pineapple and tomatillo pico de gallo.
