Inspired by a Michelin rated restaurant in Soho, my tender and juicy Coriander-crusted Duck Breast recipe combines fresh, local ingredients to create a deliciously exotic experience at home. Cooking duck can be intimidating. The trick is to cook it low and slow in its own natural juices.
INGREDIENTS
Pineapple Relish
1 c pineapple, chopped
1 T fresh lime juice
1/4 c red bell pepper, chopped
1 t fresh ginger, minced
1 T fresh mint, chopped
Duck
2 duck breasts
1 T coriander, crushed
2 T kosher salt
2 T peppercorns, crushed
DIRECTIONS: Relish – Combine ingredients. Duck – Score skin of duck in a diamond pattern. Rub coriander, salt and pepper over duck. Cook duck on low heat for 15 minutes skin side down. Flip and cook until desired temperature, roughly 15 minutes for medium. Let duck rest for five minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch pieces and serve with relish.
PAIRING: Pinot Noir, Carneros
