Method

Preparation of Duck Breast

  1. 1

    Score the Skin

    Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck breast in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Sear the Duck

    In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Place duck breasts skin-side down and sear for about 6-7 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest.

Roasting Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Chop carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  2. 4

    Roast the Vegetables

    Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.

Making Carrot Puree

  1. 5

    Cook Carrots

    In a saucepan, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add carrots and boil until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6

    Blend Puree

    In a blender, combine cooked carrots, butter, salt, black pepper, and vegetable broth. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Preparing Demi-Glace

  1. 7

    Simmer Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine beef stock and red wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes.

  2. 8

    Finish the Sauce

    Whisk in butter, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Maple Glaze

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Heat over low heat until combined and slightly thickened.

Plating

  1. 10

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, spoon some carrot puree, place roasted vegetables alongside, and slice the duck breast. Drizzle with demi-glace and maple glaze before serving.
