Wild Ginger and Blueberry Glazed Crispy Duck Breast

The deep, warming spice of wild ginger enhances a glossy, antioxidant-packed blueberry glaze atop perfectly crispy duck breast, bringing both flavour and anti-inflammatory benefits to the table.
Servings: 2

Ingredients
  

  • 2 duck breasts skin on
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup wild blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon grated wild ginger
  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Score duck skin and season with salt and pepper.
  2. In cold pan, place duck breasts skin side down. Heat to medium heat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until fat is rendered and skin is crisp.
  3. Flip and transfer to preheated oven for an additional 7 to 10 minutes, or until you’ve reached desired doneness.
  4. Meanwhile, in saucepan, heat blueberries, wild ginger, honey, and vinegar on medium-high heat until syrupy.
  5. Let duck rest for at least 15 to 20 minutes, slice, and drizzle with blueberry glaze.
