INGREDIENTS
6 oz Duck Breast
1/2 cup cooked Brown Rice
1/2 cup Fresh Basil (chopped)
1 Red Chili Pepper (chopped)
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
1 tsp Olive Oil
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by patting the duck breast dry with paper towels to ensure a crispy skin during searing. Season both sides lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, place the duck breast skin-side down to render the fat and crisp up the skin.
Sear the duck for about 4-5 minutes on the skin side until a deep golden crisp forms. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. Adjust time if you prefer a different level of doneness.
While the duck is cooking, prepare the steamed brown rice according to package directions or warm a pre-cooked portion of steamed brown rice.
In a small bowl, combine the chopped basil, red chili pepper, and minced garlic. Once the duck is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.
Plate a serving of steamed brown rice and top with slices of duck breast. Spoon the spicy basil mixture over the duck, letting the heat from the meat slightly wilt the basil and mellow the garlic and chili flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy the harmonious blend of crispy, savory duck with a spicy, aromatic kick alongside nutty brown rice.
