Ingredients
For the Duck Breast & Foie Gras:
1 duck breast, skin-on
2 pieces foie gras (60-80g each)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp thyme or rosemary
½ tbsp butter
For the Blueberry Mustard Sauce:
3 tbsp Mostaza Lab Blueberry Mustard
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
¼ cup red wine or port wine
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp butter
For Garnish:
Microgreens or fresh thyme
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Duck Breast
1️⃣ Score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat.
2️⃣ Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
3️⃣ Place the duck skin-side down in a cold pan (no oil needed). Slowly increase to medium-low heat, allowing the fat to render for 6-8 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden.
4️⃣ Flip the duck breast and cook for 3-4 minutes for a medium-rare result. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 2: Make the Blueberry Mustard Sauce
1️⃣ In a saucepan over medium heat, combine Blueberry Mustard, blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, red wine, and minced garlic.
2️⃣ Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the blueberries burst and the sauce slightly thickens.
3️⃣ Stir in butter for a silky texture and glossy finish.
Step 3: Sear the Foie Gras
1️⃣ Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat (no oil needed).
2️⃣ Sear the foie gras for 30-45 seconds per side until deeply golden brown and crispy.
3️⃣ Remove from the pan and let rest on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.
Step 4: Plating & Garnish
1️⃣ Slice the duck breast and arrange on a plate.
2️⃣ Place the seared foie gras on top, ensuring a contrast between the crispy textures.
3️⃣ Generously drizzle the Blueberry Mustard sauce over the dish, allowing some to pool on the plate for dipping.
4️⃣ Garnish with microgreens or fresh thyme for an elegant touch.
