1/2 cup minced basil leaves

Steps:

A special warm salad for sharing. This would work well as an appetizer for 4 or a main course for 2. The dressing is perfect for duck but make sure you mix it well so the honey doesn't sink to the bottom.

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 duck breasts, skin on
4 ounces salad leaves
9 ounces cherry tomatoes
4 scallions, sliced diagonally
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Score the skin of the duck breasts and season.
  • Heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat, add the duck, skin side down and cook for 4 mins or until the skin is crisp. Turn over and quickly brown the underside then transfer to a baking tray.
  • Mix the dressing ingredients together and spoon all but 2 tbs of it over the duck. Roast the duck for 10 mins for pink or longer if you prefer.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 4 mins then slice into strips.
  • Toss together the salad leaves, tomatoes and scallions with the duck slices.
  • Drizzle over the remaining dressing and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Duck: For the best results, use a duck that is fresh and has not been frozen. A good quality duck will have a plump breast and a crispy skin.
  • Cook the Duck Properly: To ensure that the duck is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the Duck Rest: After cooking the duck, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This includes using fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruits.
  • Pay Attention to the Dressing: The dressing is what brings the salad together, so make sure you take the time to make a delicious one. Use a good quality olive oil and vinegar, and add some fresh herbs and spices for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Oriental duck salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting salad recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
