Duck breast
Duck breast recipes are some of the oldest recipes known to man. The first recorded duck breast recipe dates back to the ancient Egyptians, who used the bird to make a dish called kawari. Kawari was a spicy, savory stew made with duck, onions, and garlic. It was often served with bread or rice.
The ancient Romans also had a duck breast dish called duck à la Romaine. This dish was made with duck breasts, onions, garlic, and white wine. It was often served with bread or pasta.
Duck breast recipes were also popular in medieval Europe. One of the most famous is duck à l’orange, which is made with duck breasts, oranges, and spices. It was often served with rice or potatoes.
Advice
When it comes to making duck breast, it is important to start by searing the skin side of the duck in a hot pan. This will help form a golden, crisp skin. Once the skin is seared, lower the heat and cook the duck for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Be sure to use a meat thermometer to check the temperature. When it is finished cooking, let the duck rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help ensure the duck stays juicy and flavorful.
