Ingredients:

Duck breast

Onion

Carrot

Garlic

Parsley

Extra virgin olive oil

Balsamic vinegar

Marine salt

Rice

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Using the fire get rid of the breast feathers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The heat make easier to remove the feathers residuals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This will be discarded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Completed this task, wash the breast under fresh water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put a fry-pan on the fire (medium-high), seat in it each breast on its own skin.

You can add one spoon of extra virgin olive oil or not: broiling the skin the fat between the skin and the meat will become liquid: I use this oil for the recipe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cover with a lid and cook for five-six minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As it is covered also the surface will cook.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After five-six minutes check if the skin is roasted realeasing its fat, capsize the breast now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see how much oil has been released.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cover and cook for two-three minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put the breasts in a separate plate, we will come back to it later on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I use the fat oil to complete the recipe.

Start frying the carrot (cut in small cubes) in the fat-oil where you have previously roasted the breast; keep the fire high.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait until the carrot starts to fade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the chopped onion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As it starts to fade add a pinch of marine salt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir well, then cook covered with a lid for five-six minutes setting the fire low.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the chopped garlic and parsley.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Set the fire high and stir well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cut the mushroom in cubes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the mushrooms to the soffritto, add one pinch of marine salt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the rest of mushrooms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cover with a lid and cook for three-four minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep cooking on low fire, stir.

Meantime cut in slices the breast, keep its juice using a plate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Add the sliced breast to the fry-pan, included its juice, spread a pinch of marine salt on top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see that the meat is not well done: this is because I want to make the meat to catch the taste of the mushrooms and more when we will add the balsamic.

I will complete the cooking on the next steps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like to have the meat soft and with a good degree of humidity, too: cover with a lid and cook for two-three minutes at low fire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open the lid and add few drops of Balsamic vinegar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Again cover with the lid, keep it on for one-two minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open and check for the salinity and the taste, if needed add more salt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Set the fire high adding half glass of white wine, cook for another two-three minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remember to stir well while the wine evaporates.

Turn off the fire keeping the breast warm.

I use this sauce as condiment, if you like you can eat as it is now as main course.

Prepare boiling water with salt (one handful of marine salt for 3-4 liters of water).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One cup of rice is around 500 grams. Drop it in the boiling water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stir the rice or it will glue, it takes 8-10 minutes to cook aldente! Stir every two-three minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As the rice is ready put two-three spoons in each plate adding the meat and part of the sauce on top of the rice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s it! Buon appetito !!!
