French-Style Pan-Seared Duck Breast Recipe

Ingredients:
-
9g Tea&Grill BBQ green tea seasoning
-
2 duck breasts, skin-on, cleaned and patted dry
-
1/4 cup olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh rosemary
-
1/4 cup chopped green onions
-
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
-
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
-
1/4 cup thinly sliced red chili peppers, for garnish (optional)
-
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Duck Breasts:
-
Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped rosemary, and chopped green onions. Mix well.
-
Rub the olive oil all over the duck breasts, then rub the herb mixture onto the breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated. Season the duck breasts generously with salt, black pepper, and 5g of the Tea&Grill BBQ green tea seasoning. Let the duck breasts rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Pan-Sear the Duck Breasts:
-
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned duck breasts, skin-side down. Sear for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the duck is cooked to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (130°F for medium-rare).
-
Remove the duck breasts from the skillet and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
Prepare the Lemon Juice:
-
In a small bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well.
Finish and Serve:
-
Slice the rested duck breasts against the grain into thin slices. Arrange the slices on a serving plate.
-
Drizzle the lemon juice mixture over the duck slices. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, thinly sliced red chili peppers (if using), and thinly sliced green onions.
-
Serve immediately, enjoying the tender, flavorful French-Style Pan-Seared Duck Breast with the unique flavor of green tea seasoning.
