Crispy Duck Burger

The Crispy Duck Burger is a delicious low-carb twist on a classic burger, featuring succulent duck breast with a crispy skin, served on a bed of refreshing lettuce and topped with a savory hoisin sauce. This dish combines rich flavors reminiscent of Chinese cuisine, making it a unique and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

• Duck breast - 300 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Hoisin sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Lettuce leaves (for wrapping) - 4 large leaves
• Cucumber - 50 grams, thinly sliced
• Spring onions - 2, finely chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
3. Season both sides of the duck breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and place the duck breast skin-side down. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
5. Flip the duck breast and sear the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes.
6. Transfer the duck breast to the oven and roast for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare doneness.
7. Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
8. While the duck is resting, mix the hoisin sauce with sesame oil in a small bowl.
9. To assemble the burger, take a large lettuce leaf and place some duck slices on it. Top with cucumber slices, chopped spring onions, and drizzle with hoisin sauce.
10. Wrap the lettuce around the filling and serve immediately.
