Duck Breast
One 8-12 oz breast
Silver Appleyard
Our heritage Silver Appleyard duck is raised to the high standards of the Good Shepherd Network. Duck is incredibly tasty, boasting sweet and earthy flavors and rich silky textures. Because of the high amount of fat that surrounds heritage breed duck, the meat is as rich tasting as anything you will ever eat.
Cold plucked duck, processed in the traditional Kosher method, is especially desirable because this method keeps the skin more intact, improving the overall quality.
Heritage duck is a delectable option for the poultry lover. For Americans, these birds may seem a bit Old World and intimidating to cook, but the truth is they are no more difficult to prepare than a chicken or a turkey and they are incredibly tasty, boasting sweet and earthy flavors and rich silky textures. Like all heritage breeds, the duck needs slow, gentle cooking for a crisp skin and a succulent, moist interior.
To cook, season the breast on all sides and sear in a heavy bottomed saucepan on medium heat, fat side down to render. Once browned, flip the meat and sear it in the rich, rendered duck fat for 5-10 minutes depending on your desired internal temperature. Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove from the pan and allow the breast to rest for 3-5 minutes at room temperature before slicing and serving.
