Duck Breast with Honey and Spices

This extremely simple and delicious recipe is from my friend Carmen and one of her best suggestions.

Before you start:

    •   If the duck breast has been vacuum-wrapped, make sure to take it out of its package 1 h before cooking in order to dry it.
    •   Keep the serving plates warm on the stove while you're preparing the dish.

Prep Time

    •    Prep time: 10 minutes
    •    Cook time: 10 minutes
    •    Yield: Serves 2

Ingredients

    •   1 1/2 tbsp honey, liquid
    •   1 1/2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
    •   1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    •   1/2 tsp ground cumin
    •   1/4 tsp coriander seeds, coarsely ground or crushed
    •   1/4 tsp peppercorns, coarsely ground or crushed
    •   1 steaklets of duck
    •   Optional: 1 pinch salt

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 230°C /450°F.
  2. Heat the honey in a saucepan over high heat 2-3 min, until it is slightly caramelized. Pour in the vinegar and mix well. Add the spices, lower the heat to 'low', then let the sauce reduce 5 min, until it has reached a 'coating' consistency.
  3. Make crosshatched incisions in the skin of the breasts. Season with salt then rub it into the meat. Put the breasts, skin side down, in a thick-bottom skillet. Pour the honey sauce over the breasts then cook in the middle of the oven about 8 min. Turn them, then cook an additional 2 min (for medium-rare doneness).
  4. Transfer the duck breasts to a cutting board, cover with aluminum foil and let stand 5 min before slicing (to reabsorb the juices). Put the slices on the warmed plates, spoon the sauce on the slices and serve.
