Such an easy weeknight dinner. Quick to pan fry and finish in the oven. Goes well with roast veggies, cauliflower purée, a big salad or anything you want really!
Ingredients
2 duck breast, 200g each
Pinch of flaky salt
Method
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C.
2. Pat your duck breast dry with a kitchen towel and generously salt the skin.
3. In a cold dry pan (no oil needed), place both duck breast skin side down. Turn the hob to med-high heat and allow the fat to render down. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Wait until the skin looks nice and crispy.
4. Flip the duck breast and immediately turn the hob off. Place the duck, in your frying pan, into the hot oven.
5. Cook in the oven for 6-8 minutes. I usually do 4 minutes for a small breast (125g) or 7 minutes for a larger breast (200g).
6. After removing from the oven, allow the duck to rest for 5-10 minutes.
7. Save all the juice left over in the pan as it’s packed with flavour! I usually toss it in with steamed greens – I highly recommend it!
Enjoy!
