Recipe by: Chop Shop

Ingredients:

Duck Breast
Salt

Equipment:

Skillet (preferably cast iron) or grill
Meat thermometer (highly recommended)
Tongs

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Duck Breast:

Remove the duck breast from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes.
Pat the duck breast dry with paper towels.

2. Score the Skin:

Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck breast in a crosshatch pattern. This helps the fat render and the skin to crisp up.

3. Season the Duck Breast:

Season both sides of the duck breast with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices of your choice.

4. Preheat the Pan:

Place a dry, cold pan on the stove over medium heat. Allow it to heat up before adding the duck breast.

5. Cook the Duck Breast:

Place the duck breast in the pan, skin side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the duck breast and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes on the other side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Duck breast is often served medium-rare to medium.

6. Rest the Duck Breast:

Remove the duck breast from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and keeps the meat moist.

7. Slice and Serve:

Slice the duck breast thinly against the grain and serve it with your favorite side dishes or sauce.

8. Optional: Make a Sauce

You can make a simple sauce by deglazing the pan with wine or broth, adding herbs, and reducing it until it thickens. Pour the sauce over the sliced duck breast before serving.
