INGREDIENTS
5 oz skinless, boneless duck breast (140g)
1/2 cup fresh pitted cherries (75g)
1 small shallot (30g)
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar (15g)
1 tsp olive oil (5g)
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Lightly score the surface of the duck breast and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the duck breast, presentation side down first, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until a crispy crust forms.
Flip the duck breast and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, adjusting time as needed for your preferred doneness. Remove the duck breast from the pan and let it rest.
In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add the olive oil. Sauté the finely chopped shallot until translucent, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the pitted cherries and balsamic vinegar to the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the cherries soften and the sauce thickens slightly.
Slice the duck breast and arrange on a plate. Drizzle the warm cherry sauce over the sliced duck and serve immediately.
