Duck with Sweet Potato Puree

For the duck with sweet potato puree, first prepare the sweet potato puree. To do this, peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes and boil them in salted water until they are soft.

Meanwhile, lightly cut the duck breast on the skin side and salt it. Heat a pan with butter and sear the duck first on the skin side (2-3 minutes) so that it becomes crispy.

Then sear the duck on the other side (1-2 minutes). Keep pouring the excess butter over the skin side of the duck with a spoon. Remove the brisket from the pan and let it rest on a plate or board for 5-10 minutes.

In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180-200°C. Place the duck breast, skin side up, in the oven for about 20 minutes. How long the breast is in the oven depends on the size. Before removing the breast, always pressure test it.

To make the sauce, use the chicken stock to deglaze the pan and add the orange juice (from about 2 large oranges). Let the whole simmer, season to taste and thicken.

Strain the soft boiled potato cubes, fry them briefly in a pot with butter and then pour in milk. Bring to the boil briefly and then mash.

Add more milk if desired. Season with salt pepper and nutmeg and the duck with mashed sweet potatoes.

Preparation Tip:

Place the duck breast in the oven with the skin side up so that it stays crispy and let it rest on a board for 10 minutes before cutting, so that the juice remains in the meat.
