Ingredients:
🔸️2 duck breasts (skin-on)
🔸️1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
🔸️1/4 cup maple syrup
🔸️2 tbsp vinegar
🔸️1 tbsp mustard
🔸️Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
🔸️Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
🔸️Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels. Score the skin in a criss-cross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season with salt and pepper.
🔸️ Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of olive oil.
🔸️ Place the duck breasts skin-side down into the pan. Sear for 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip the breasts and sear the other side for about 1-2 minutes.
🔸️ Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare (or adjust for your preferred doneness). Let the duck rest for 5 minutes after cooking.
🔸️ In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, vinegar, and mustard.
🔸️ Gradually whisk in the olive oil to emulsify the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
🔸️ Slice the duck breasts and drizzle with the maple syrup vinaigrette. You can serve this with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
🔸️ Enjoy your roast duck breasts with maple syrup vinaigrette!.
