Preparation

  • Step 1

    Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern with a sharp knife. Season both sides of the duck breasts with salt and pepper.

  • Step 2

    Place the duck breasts, skin-side down, in a cold pan. Cook over medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Turn the duck breasts over and continue cooking for about 5 to 7 minutes for medium-rare. Remove the duck breasts from the pan and let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  • Step 3

    While the duck breasts are resting, prepare the sauce. In the same pan, add the honey, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and crushed garlic. Heat the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly.

  • Step 4

    Slice the duck breasts and arrange them on plates. Drizzle the duck breasts with the honey and balsamic vinegar sauce. Garnish with sprigs of rosemary for an aromatic touch.

Nutritional Advice

Looking for a lighter option? Carefully remove some of the fat from the duck breast before cooking, then opt for cooking without adding any fat. And for a touch of sweetness, choose acacia honey, which is milder and has a moderate glycemic index. This is an ideal tip for those watching their weight or sugar levels!
