The tangy, slightly tart raspberry sauce perfectly complements the rich flavors of the crisp duck breast. Duck fat is relatively healthy, with less saturated fat than butter.
For the Sauce
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 3½ oz (100 g) shallots, finely chopped
- 7 oz (200 g) fresh raspberries, chopped
- 1 tsp cardamom seeds, crushed
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
How to Make It
- Use a sharp knife to score the skin on the duck breasts. Rub the meat generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the duck skin-side down in a heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-low heat. Allow the duck fat to render for about 10–12 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 3–5 minutes. Set aside to rest. Keep warm.
- Drain off the duck fat. In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and shallots and cook until caramelized.
- Add the raspberries, cardamom, and vinegar. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5–7 minutes. Transfer the duck to a serving plate and serve topped with the raspberry sauce.
