Burger de Canard

Burger de Canard is a delightful French twist on the classic burger, featuring juicy duck patties infused with herbs and served with a tangy homemade sauce. This healthy version is complemented by fresh vegetables and whole-grain buns, making it a satisfying yet nutritious meal.

Ingredients

• Duck breast - 300 grams
• Whole grain burger buns - 2 units
• Fresh arugula - 50 grams
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh thyme - 1 teaspoon, chopped

Steps

1. Begin by finely chopping the duck breast and mixing it with minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the duck patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach a desired doneness (medium-rare is recommended).
3. While the patties are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing Dijon mustard and honey in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
4. Toast the whole grain burger buns lightly on a separate pan or in a toaster.
5. Assemble the burgers by spreading the honey-Dijon sauce on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked duck patty, fresh arugula, tomato slices, and red onion. Top with the other half of the bun.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your Burger de Canard with a side of mixed greens or sweet potato fries.
