Ingredients
- 1 duck breast
- For the vegetable garnish:
- 1 onion (approximately 100 g)
- 1 Leek (approximately 100 g)
- 2 carrots (approximately 200 g)
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil
- For the sauce:
- Juice of 1 orange
- 100 ml soy sauce
- 50 ml of Modena vinegar
- 25 g honey
- 5 g refined maize flour
- Orange zest for garnish
Instructions:
- Let's start by preparing the delicious sauce. In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients for the sauce, except the orange zest. Whisk well with a hand blender until the cornflour is fully integrated and the mixture is smooth. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens. Then set aside for later.
- Let's move on to the vegetable garnish. First, make sure you wash the leek thoroughly, removing any traces of sand. Cut the leek in half lengthwise and then into crosswise strips. Chop the onion into small pieces and dice the carrots.
- Heat a little extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and sauté all the vegetables together until tender and golden brown. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside while you prepare the magret.
- Prepare the duck breast by carefully removing the excess fat. Cut off the surface fat in the form of lozenges without reaching the meat. Then, heat a frying pan over medium-high heat (without adding oil) and place the duck breast, fat side down. Cook for about three to four minutes before turning. Cook on the other side for another three to four minutes. Remove from the heat and leave the meat to rest for a couple of minutes before cutting into thin slices.
- It's time to assemble our dish! Heat the sauce and the prepared vegetables. Place a portion of vegetables on each plate as a base and place four or five slices of duck breast on top. Sprinkle with orange zest for a fresh, citrusy touch. Finally, season generously and serve immediately!
Prepare to delight your guests with this irresistible dish that combines the juiciness of the duck breast with the vibrant flavour of the orange sauce and the freshness of the sautéed vegetables! Enjoy!
