Ingredients

  • 800 g Game meat, Duck, breasts, fresh

  • pieces Salt, table

  • pieces Spices, pepper, black

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius. Rinse the duck breasts under running water and thoroughly dry them with paper towels. Make shallow cuts in the skin with a knife. Then season the duck breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Place the seasoned breasts skin-side down in a cold pan. Cook them over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes, occasionally basting them with the hot fat that accumulates in the pan. Once the skin is golden brown, flip the breasts and cook the other side for 30 seconds.

  3. Pour off the excess fat, then place the pan in the preheated oven. Roast the breasts for an additional 10 to 18 minutes (10 minutes for rare, 15 minutes for medium, and 18 minutes for well-done).

  4. Remove the roasted breasts from the oven, transfer them to a cutting board, and loosely cover with a piece of aluminum foil. Let them rest for a few minutes, then slice them, plate them, and serve with your chosen side dish.
