Duck Breast With Brandy And Watercress Sauce

Heat a frying pan over a high heat until hot. Add the oil and butter. When the butter is foaming, add the duck and fry for about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to the baking tray and roast for about 8–10 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts. Remove from the oven, set aside on a hot plate, cover with kitchen foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes. Set aside the duck cooking juices.

Easy Five-spice Duck Breast Salad

Lay the breasts skin-side down in an unoiled skillet, preferably cast iron. Place the skillet over a high flame. After about a minute, the duck will start to sizzle. When you see the fat starting to render - it will ooze out around the edges of the breasts - set the timer for five minutes and lower the heat to medium-high. After five minutes, flip the breasts over, turn off the flame and let the meat cook in the residual heat of the pan. After about three to five minutes (for medium-rare; adjust the time as needed if the breasts are larger or smaller, or if you like the meat more well done), place the breasts on a cutting board and leave to rest for five minutes while preparing the salad.

Roast Duck Breast With Cranberry Sauce And Mash

Add the star anise, orange zest, orange juice and half of the port to the pan. Bring to a simmer, turn the duck over (so that it is skin-side up) to coat in the liquid, then place into the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the duck is golden-brown and cooked but still slightly pink in the middle. Transfer the duck to a warm plate to rest.
