Ingredients
Method
- Pat the duck breast very dry with paper towels, then use a very sharp knife to score the skin in a small crosshatch pattern.
- Season with salt and freshly ground pepper and rub it gently into the meat.
- Place the duck breast skin side down in a cold frying pan, then heat the pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the duck for 4–5 minutes, or until the skin is crisp and nicely browned.
- Turn the duck breast over and take the pan off the heat.
- Leave the duck in the pan for 15 minutes, so it finishes cooking gently and rests at the same time.
- Meanwhile, put the orange juice and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan.
- Set aside 3–4 raspberries for serving and add the rest to the saucepan.
- Blend with a stick blender and bring to a boil for 1 minute.
- In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tsp water and add it to the raspberry sauce.
- Stir constantly for a few seconds, until the sauce thickens, then take it off the heat.
- Cut the duck breast into thick slices and arrange them on a plate.
- Serve the duck breast with the raspberry sauce and a few fresh raspberries.
