Balsamic-Honey Duck

This is a super simple but super delicious food. There is no need to marinate the duck meat. You can cook this in just ten minutes.

Originally, I wanted to do this with a whole duck breast to have a touch of fine-dining. But, I couldn't bring myself to break down the duck... The only duck meat available was the sliced one. I used that alternatively...and the result was great.

A few months ago, I ordered a real duck-breast (whole) with balsamic-honey sauce. But, mine was more delicious as the whole duck breast didn't absorb the sauce as much as mine.

Duck meat is such a nice food. But, it is also an acid-forming food as well as balsamic vinegar. Thus, we need to eat this with a lot of vegetables.  

Ingredients

sliced duck meat (breasts and legs)   400g                   
balsamic vinegar                                 2-3 tablespoons
honey                                                  1/2 tablespoon   
paprika                                                2
onion                                                   1                         

1. Cut vegetables

2. Place duck meat fat-side down on a preheated pan. Season it with salt and pepper.

3. Remove the duck fat from the pan - I used this to oil vegetables.

 

 

 

4. Let the duck soak in balsamic vinegar.

5. Bring the pan to a very low heat and braise the duck in balsamic vinegar.

6. Have a drizzle of honey over the duck once balsamic vinegar is fully reduced.

7. Serve the duck with vegetables.
