Duck With Raspberry Sauce Recipes

DUCK BREASTS WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

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.

DUCK BREASTS WITH RASPBERRY SAUCE

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.
