INGREDIENTS
- 2 duck breasts
- 500g baby potatoes
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp thyme, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 tbsp flour
- 250ml red wine
- 1 tbsp cranberry sauce
- 50ml honey
- 150ml chicken stock
- Parsley, chopped
DIRECTIONS
-
Boil the potatoes in salted water until cooked through. Once done, drain and set aside.
-
Score duck breast skin into a crosshatch pattern. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Place the duck breasts skin side down on a cold pan and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip over and cook for an additional minute. Cover the skillet with another pan or lid and bake for another 4 minutes until cooked through. Once done, remove from the pan and let it rest for 5 minutes, but do not get rid of the duck fat.
-
While the duck is resting, flatten the cooked potatoes with some pressure. Shallow fry each side in the remaining duck fat until golden brown; add garlic, thyme and rosemary for added flavor. Once done, remove the potatoes from the pan.
-
To the same pan, add the flour and immediately start stirring. Pour in the red wine, cranberry sauce, raspberries, honey, and chicken stock. Let it reduce until thickened.
-
Slice duck breast and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
