Method

Duck Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Score the skin of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Duck

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 6-8 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the breasts and sear for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Roast the Duck

    Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Mango Salsa

  1. 4

    Make the Salsa

    In a mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro, lime juice, and minced jalapeño. Toss everything together and season with salt to taste. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Riso Venere

  1. 5

    Cook the Riso Venere

    In a medium saucepan, combine the Riso Venere, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Sauce Au Poivre Vert

  1. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In the same skillet used for the duck, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and sauté until soft. Add the green peppercorns and brandy, cooking until the alcohol evaporates. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
