Crispy Pan-Seared Duck Breast with Cherry Sauce
Savor the rich flavors of perfectly pan-seared duck breast with a luscious cherry sauce that beautifully balances tangy and sweet notes. The crispy skin and tender meat pair flawlessly with the vibrant, reduced sauce, creating a dish that is both elegant and satisfying.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Duck Breast
1/2 cup Fresh Cherries, pitted
1 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 small Shallot
1/4 cup Low-Sodium Chicken Stock
1 tsp Unsalted Butter
1 tsp Olive Oil
PREPARATION
Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Place the duck breast skin side down and cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
Remove the duck from the pan and let it rest covered loosely with foil.
In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add the finely chopped shallot. Sauté until soft and translucent—about 2 minutes.
Add the pitted cherries and balsamic vinegar, allowing them to deglaze the pan. Stir in the chicken stock and let the sauce simmer for 4-5 minutes, until it slightly thickens.
Finish the sauce by stirring in the unsalted butter until melted and smooth.
Slice the rested duck breast and drizzle the warm cherry sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy the blend of rich duck with the tangy-sweet sauce.
