Crispy Pan-Seared Duck Breast with Cherry Sauce
Savor the luxurious flavors of a perfectly seared duck breast complemented by a vibrant cherry sauce. The crisp exterior and tender interior of the duck harmonize beautifully with the tangy-sweet reduction, creating an elegant dish that balances rich flavors with a light finish.
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces Duck Breast
1/2 cup Pitted Fresh Cherries
1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
1 small Shallot
1 tsp Red Wine Vinegar
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the duck breast dry with paper towels and score the skin lightly in a crisscross pattern. Season generously with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breast skin-side down and sear until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until reaching your desired doneness. Remove the duck from the pan and let it rest.
Drain excess fat from the skillet, leaving behind about a tablespoon. Lower the heat to medium and add the minced shallot, cooking until it softens, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the pitted cherries and a teaspoon of red wine vinegar to the pan. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until the cherries soften slightly and form a light sauce.
Stir in the unsalted butter until melted and the sauce becomes glossy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Slice the duck breast thinly and serve drizzled with the warm cherry sauce.
