Pan-fried duck breast: The secret to a gourmet dish at home

Discover the ultimate technique for making a melting and crispy duck breast, worthy of the great chefs, directly at home!

Duck breast, star of gourmet tables

Ingredients :

• Duck breast : 1, very fresh
• Salt pepper : according to taste
• Aromatic herbs (optional): thyme, rosemary
• Duck fat : 1 tablespoon

Preparation :

1. Preparations : Take the duck breast out of the fridge about 20 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature.
2. Incisions : Using a sharp knife, make grid incisions on the oily skin of the duck breast without touching the flesh.
3. Seasoning : Rub both sides of the duck generously with salt and pepper. Insert the aromatic herbs into the incisions for a more fragrant taste.
4. Gentle cooking : In a cold skillet, place the duck breast skin side down. Turn the heat to medium heat and allow the fat to melt slowly, for about 10 minutes. Remove melted fat regularly for crispier skin.
5. Seizure : Increase the heat and turn the duck breast over to sear it for 1 to 2 minutes on the flesh side. For medium-rare, cook for another 2 minutes.
6. Rest : Let the duck breast rest for 5 minutes under aluminum foil before cutting it. This will allow the juices to redistribute.

Serve with roasted vegetables or homemade mash to complete this delight. Your guests will ask you for your secret, guaranteed!
