minutesIngredients
2 duck breasts (any puddle ducks. I used mallard in the pictures. Preferably with the skin on)
1/4 tsp of salt
1/4 tsp of ground black pepper
- Honey glaze
1 tbsp of honey
1 tsp of light soy sauce
1 tbsp of lemon juice (juice of 1/3 lemon)
1/2 tsp of gochujang or sriracha (optional)
1/4 tsp of sesame oil (optional)
Directions
- Pat dry the duck breasts. Score the skin of the duck breast (if you kept the skin). Rub the salt, pepper and garlic powder on the breast.
- In a small bowl, mix the ingredients of the honey glaze and reserve until ready to use.
- Heat a medium skillet under medium to medium-high heat. Add the breasts skin down when the skillet is starting to be warm to render the fat. Cook for 3 minutes on this side, then flip and cook for 1.5 minute. At this point, the breasts are still rare.
- Add the honey glaze on the duck breasts. Flip the breasts in the glaze and let it thicken, for 30 seconds to a minute. Remove the duck breasts from the skillet and pour the glaze in a small bowl.
- The duck breasts are now done! I recommend serving sliced on a bed of rice or vegetables with a spoon full of the glaze on top of the duck. Optionally, you can garnish with thinly sliced green onions, sesame seeds or drops of sesame oil
SUBSTITUTIONS – Since we do not always have success when going outdoors or not everyone practices hunting, fishing or picking. here are a few ideas to substitute the harvested ingredients:
- The wild duck breast can be replaced with grocery bought duck breasts. The cooking time will need to be increased to 4 minutes on the skin side and 3 minutes on the second side.
- The wild duck breast can be replaced with wild goose breasts. The cooking time will need to be increased to 4 minutes on the skin side and 3 minutes on the second side.
- This incredible glaze can also be used for grocery bought pork and chicken.
