Grilled Duck Breast

Grilled Duck Breast is a succulent and flavorful dish that highlights the richness of duck while being elevated by a simple herb marinade. Perfectly cooked, this dish is a delightful fusion of French technique and BBQ charm, making it a unique kosher experience.

Ingredients

• Duck breast - 2 pieces (about 200g each)
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh thyme - 2 teaspoons, chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Balsamic vinegar - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
2. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, thyme, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, honey, and balsamic vinegar to create a marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the duck breasts, ensuring it gets into the scored skin. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Place the duck breasts skin-side down on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
6. Flip the duck breasts and grill for another 5-7 minutes for medium-rare, or longer if you prefer them more well done.
7. Remove the duck breasts from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
8. Serve the sliced duck breast with your favorite sides, drizzling any leftover juices over the top.
