Crispy Duck Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
- 1
Prepare the Duck
Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Cook the Duck
In a cold frying pan, place the duck breasts skin-side down. Turn the heat to medium and let the fat render out slowly for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Flip the duck and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the meat is cooked to your liking (medium rare is recommended).
- 3
Rest the Duck
Remove the duck from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 4
Prepare the Cucumber
While the duck is resting, slice the cucumber into thin strips.

Assemble the Dish
