INGREDIENTS
1 piece (150g) Duck Breast
0.5 cup (75g) Sweet Cherries, pitted
0.25 cup (60g) Red Wine
0.25 cup (60g) Chicken Broth
1 small Shallot (30g)
1 tablespoon Balsamic Vinegar
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Pat the duck breast dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Score the skin lightly in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add the duck breast skin-side down. Sear for about 5-6 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip the duck and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes for medium-rare (adjust time based on preferred doneness).
Remove the duck from the pan and let it rest under loosely folded foil.
In the same pan, add the finely chopped shallot and sauté until translucent using the rendered duck fat.
Add the red wine and balsamic vinegar, scraping any browned bits from the pan. Let the wine reduce slightly.
Stir in the sweet cherries and chicken broth. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Slice the duck breast thinly and drizzle the warm cherry sauce over the slices before serving.
