Categories     Duck     Herb     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 whole boneless duck breasts with skin such as Long Island (also known as Pekin; each about 1 1/2 pounds)
a 6 1/2-ounce container duck-and-veal demiglace
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarsely crushed peppercorns (preferably pink)

Steps:

  • Halve duck breasts and trim excess fat. Pat duck dry. Pierce skin of duck all over with a fork and score with a knife to allow fat to drain and help skin become crisp. Season duck with salt. Heat a large heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over high heat until very hot. Put duck, skin sides down, in skillet and immediately reduce heat to moderately low. Cook duck 20 minutes, or until skin is mahogany-colored and most of fat is rendered. Remove fat from skillet with a metal bulb baster or by very carefully pouring it off. (Reserve 1 tablespoon rendered fat for Sautéed Kohlrabi and Watercress) Turn duck over and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer duck to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. (Duck will continue to cook as it stands until it reaches medium.)
  • While duck is standing, in a small saucepan boil demiglace until reduced to about 3/4 cup and add vinegar, sugar, and peppercorns. Remove pan from heat and keep sauce warm, covered.
  • Diagonally cut duck breast halves and serve with sauce.
