Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Duck Breast

Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat. Season generously with salt and black pepper.

2. Sear the Duck

In a cold skillet, place the duck breasts skin-side down and turn the heat to medium. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the duck breasts and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest.

3. Make the Risotto

In a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic, sautéing until softened. Add the Arborio rice and toast for 1-2 minutes.

4. Add Stock Gradually

Begin adding the warm chicken or vegetable stock, one ladle at a time, stirring continuously until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. Continue this for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy and al dente.

5. Incorporate Mushrooms and Cheese

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the wild mushrooms, Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Blanch the Asparagus

Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender but still vibrant. Drain and set aside.

7. Plate the Dish

Slice the duck breasts and arrange them on a plate alongside the risotto. Top with blanched asparagus, diced tomato, julienned green apple, and arugula. Drizzle sage oil over the top.
