Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 duck breast halves
5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
extra balsamic vinegar, for drizzling (optional)

Steps:

  • Using a sharp knife, score the duck skin (fat) with diagonal parallel slashes 1/2 inch apart to make a diamond pattern, being careful not to pierce through to the flesh.
  • Pour the balsamic vinegar into a shallow dish just wide enough to fit the breasts in one layer.
  • Add the duck, flesh (not fat) side down; cover and leave to marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature (can be marinated up to 2 hours refrigerated but remove for last twenty minutes at room temperature).
  • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add duck, fat side down and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes (covered to avoid spattering).
  • After the 5 minutes, carefully pour the rendered fat from the pan and wipe the outside of the pan of any grease that may have dripped there before placing back on the stove.
  • Turn the duck breasts over and continue to cook: about 5 minutes more for rare, 8 for medium rare, and 10 minutes for well done, but of course depending on the size of the duck breasts.
  • Remove duck from pan to cutting board and slice thinly against the grain.
  • Serve immediately, passing extra balsamic vinegar for drizzling if desired.
