Roasted Duck Breast With Red Wine Sauce is definitely a delicacy everyone should try at least once in their lifetime. Duck has a rich, robust gamey flavor that is simply addicting. Of course, there is no cooking duck breast without scoring the meat. Scoring simply refers to making shallow cuts on the surface of the food. Scoring the duck breast makes it easier for the fat to melt, and it creates the crispiest skin. Once the duck breasts are scored, they are seared in a skillet until golden brown; then roasted with fresh figs and a delicious red wine sauce. Trust me when I say this is one flavorful duck you definitely don't want to miss out on.
What goes well with duck breast?
So many foods pair well with duck, including risotto, mashed potatoes and green beans, green salad, balsamic roasted vegetables, asparagus, roasted Brussels sprouts, and so much more.
Is duck a healthy meat?
Yes, duck is healthy. Duck contains a substantial amount of protein. Protein builds, maintains, and repairs muscles. In addition to this, duck also contains a lot of iron. In fact, a 100-gram serving of duck provides about 50% of the daily recommended amount of iron. Iron plays a role in creating blood and growth and development.
Can you eat duck if it's pink in the middle?
Duck is not to be confused with chicken. Therefore, a pink color is a good thing when it comes to duck breasts. The best doneness for duck breast is medium-rare, which means the duck breast will be pink in the middle and is safe to eat.
Is duck breast good for weight loss?
Yes, duck breast can be good for weight loss, provided you remove the skin (which contains most of the fat) before you prepare it. Once the skin is removed, duck breast is quite lean; even leaner than chicken breasts.
