Duck Breast With A Serrano Chili Raspberry Blackberry Marsala Sauce Over A Scallion Crepe Recipes

Steps:

• Season the duck breast with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Brown the duck breast, skin side first, then flip over, reduce heat and cook other side, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the duck breasts to a platter, reserving the juices in the pan. Work in batches, if necessary.
• To make the sauce, add the balsamic vinegar and red wine to the pan and cook until reduced by half. Add the stock and reduce by half again, then add brown sugar, rosemary and berries and cook for 3 minutes. Strain into a bowl and whisk in the butter to finish. Place the duck breast on each plate and drizzle the sauce around.

Steps:

• Cut the duck skin (like tic tac toe). Cook duck on its skin in a saute pan ( low-medium heat )for about 20 minutes, until skin is crisp. Turn over and continue cooking 5 or 7 minutes more according to taste (rare, medium rare, etc.)
• Remove fat from saute pan, add orange juice and 1 cup of frozen raspberries. Cook and let reduce until sauce becomes smooth. Strain, add butter, salt and pepper to taste. Slice duck, garnish with wild rice, vegetable of your choice and decorate with a few fresh raspberries.

Steps:

• Trim duck breasts as necessary, removing extraneous fat or gristle. Score the skin side of the breast diagonally with a sharp knife.
• Season both sides of the duck breasts with salt, then sprinkle both sides evenly with five-spice powder. Mix together ginger and garlic and use it to slather the breasts. Cover and let marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature. (Alternatively, wrap and refrigerate for several hours, or even overnight; bring back to room temperature before cooking.)
• Place a cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, lay duck breast in it skin-side down. Let sizzle gently for 7 minutes, until skin is crisp and golden, adjusting heat as necessary to keep from getting too dark too quickly. Turn breast over and cook 3 to 5 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer should register 125 degrees for medium rare. Remove from pan and let rest for 10 minutes on a warm plate. Drain fat from pan (reserve for another use if you wish).
• Make the sauce: Over medium heat, add shallots to same pan and cook until softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add sherry vinegar, brown sugar and half the blackberries, stirring until sugar is dissolved and berries have released their juice. Add chicken broth, raise heat and simmer rapidly until liquid is reduced by half and a bit syrupy. Strain the contents of the skillet into a small saucepan and keep warm.
• To serve, slice duck breast thinly across the grain on a diagonal and arrange on a platter. Spoon the sauce over the meat and garnish with the rest of the blackberries.

Steps:

• Score the skin of the duck breasts, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season with salt and pepper on both sides, then place into a cold skillet, skin side down.
• Turn on the flame to medium-low, and slowly cook the duck until much of the fat has rendered out, and the skin begins to get crispy. (It will not be fully cooked at this point).
• Remove most of the rendered fat from the pan, and reserve for another use. Set the duck aside while the sauce cooks.
• In another small pan, combine the raspberries, cinnamon, sugar, vinegar, and water. Cook over medium low heat until the berries are soft and the sugar has dissolved. Place in a blender and puree until smooth.Return the duck to medium low heat, this time skin side up. Continue to cook until the meat reaches your desired degree of doneness (I cook it to medium rare).
• Let the duck rest for 5 minutes, then place on serving dishes and drizzle with the raspberry sauce.

Steps:

• 1. Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• 2. Slowly stir in sugar, stirring until sugar thoroughly dissolves and sauce turns a deep amber color, about 5-8 minutes. Pour in wine, orange juice, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar. Still stirring, bring entire mixture to boil.
• 3. Add berries and chicken broth to sauce; continuing to boil until sauce thickens and is reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, stirring occasionally. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
• 4. Add Cognac and maple syrup. Using the back of a spoon, mash the berries into the mixture. Set aside.
• 5. Preheat oven to 400°F. After trimming any excess fat from the duck breasts, cut small slits in the skin (but not in the meat) of the duck. Thoroughly season breasts with salt and pepper.
• 6. Heat a heavy ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add duck-skin-side down-and sear until lightly brown, about 5 minutes. Turn over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and cook until duck reaches desired doneness (about 5 minutes for medium).
• 7. As duck bakes, reheat blackberry sauce over low heat. Add last tablespoon of butter and whisk until just barely melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• 8. Spoon sauce onto plates, then place duck atop sauce. Garnish with additional sauce and blackberries if so desired.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the duck breasts and sear for 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes longer. Turn the duck over and cook for 3 minutes. Cover the pan and cook until the duck is tender and still pink in the center, about 4 minutes longer. Remove the duck from the pan, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
• Add the vinegar to the skillet and cook, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add two-thirds cup of the raspberries and the orange sections and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the cream, remaining salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 1 minute.
• Cut the duck into thin slices and fan them out onto four plates. Spoon the sauce over the duck, garnish with the remaining raspberries and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sugar; stir until sugar dissolves and mixture turns deep amber color, about 5 minutes. Add wine, orange juice and vinegar (mixture will bubble vigorously) and bring to boil, stirring to dissolve caramel. Add 1 1/4 cups berries and both broths and boil until sauce thickens and is reduced to about 1 cup, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Strain sauce through sieve into heavy small saucepan, pressing on berries with back of spoon. Mix in Cognac and maple syrup. Set sauce aside. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim any excess fat from duck breasts. Cut three 4-inch-long by 1/16-inch-deep lengthwise slits in skin (not meat) of duck. Season duck with salt and pepper. Heat heavy large ovenproof skillet over high heat until hot. Add duck, skin side down, and sear until brown, about 5 minutes. Turn over; cook 3 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven; continue cooking to desired doneness, about 3 minutes for medium.
• Meanwhile, bring sauce to simmer over low heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter and whisk just until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Spoon sauce onto plates. Slice duck and place atop sauce. Garnish with additional berries, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven on broiler setting. Use a fork to score the duck breasts through the skin and fat but not all the way through to the meat.
• Heat a large heavy skillet on medium high. Fry the duck breasts skin side down, until the skin browns and fat runs out, about 10 minutes. Remove the breasts from the pan, and pour off most of the fat. Return breasts to pan, and fry skin side up for another 10 minutes. Remove breasts from pan, and allow to rest on a baking sheet. Mix the sea salt, cinnamon and Demerara sugar together and sprinkle over the skin of the duck breasts. Pour most of the fat out of the frying pan.
• Mix together the red wine, cassis, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour into the pan, and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened. Add raspberries, and simmer for another minute until heated through.
• Broil the duck breasts skin side up, until the sugar begins to caramelize, about 1 minute. Slice the duck breasts thinly, pour a little sauce over the top, and serve warm.

Steps:

• Pierce duck breast skin using a knife. Combine soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, and ginger in a large shallow bowl. Add duck breasts to the marinade and let sit 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Divide onions evenly between 2 small casserole dishes. Place 1 duck breast in each dish. Pour remaining marinade equally over duck.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove dishes from oven and carefully drain and discard as much accumulated fat as possible. Return dishes to oven and bake 20 minutes more.
• Transfer duck to serving dishes and let sit about 5 minutes. Slice thinly and top with baked onions.
