Instructions
1
Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern. Be careful to cut only through the fat and not into the meat. Season the meat with salt and pepper.
2
Place the duck breasts skin-side down in a cold pan. Only then turn on medium heat. This allows the fat to slowly render while the skin becomes exceptionally crispy.
3
Cook skin-side down for about 8–10 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Drain off the excess fat from the pan.
4
Turn the fillets over and cook for another 3–5 minutes on the other side (for medium, pink meat). Remove the meat from the pan and let it rest on a warm plate for at least 5 minutes.
5
In the same pan (or a separate saucepan), sauté the shallot in a little of the duck fat. Add the red wine and balsamic vinegar and cook until the liquid reduces by half.
6
Add the forest berries and thyme. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, until the berries release their juice. Finally, stir in the butter for a silky texture and shine.
7
Slice the duck breasts, pour the hot sauce over them, and serve with roasted vegetables.
