Question 6

What wines can I pair with duck breast?

Accepted Answer

Pairing a nice wine with your duck breast is a great way to take it to the next level. Merlot is an excellent choice, offering rich, fruity notes that complement the meat's flavour. There’s no need to splash out (unless you want to), as you can normally find a decent bottle of wine that doesn’t break the bank.

Question 7

Is duck breast healthy?

Accepted Answer

Duck breast can be a healthy option, especially when the skin and rendered fat are eaten in moderation. It’s rich in protein and provides essential vitamins and minerals. However, duck breast contains higher amounts of fat compared to other poultry, including trans fats, which can impact heart health if you eat too much of it.

Question 8

What is the best way to render duck fat?

Accepted Answer

To render duck fat, score the skin of the duck breast in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Place the duck breast, skin-side down, in a cold pan. Heat slowly over medium-low heat, allowing the fat to melt and render out gradually. Continue cooking until the skin is crispy and golden brown. It’s pretty easy!

Question 9

What is the best way to use fat leftover from Mob’s duck breast recipe?

Accepted Answer

Use it to roast potatoes for an extra crispy texture and rich flavour, or to sauté vegetables, add depth to stews, or even as a base for making confit. Simply store the rendered duck fat in a sealed container in the fridge, where it will keep for several weeks. Whatever you do, don’t throw it away.

Question 10

Do I need to rest the duck breast after cooking this recipe?

Accepted Answer

Resting the meat for 5-10 minutes helps redistribute the juices, resulting in a more tender and flavourful dish. Simply transfer the cooked duck breast to a plate and cover it loosely with foil while it rests.

Question 11

Can I cook Mob’s duck breast recipe in a sous vide machine?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cook Mob’s duck breast recipe in a sous vide machine. Set the sous vide machine to 57°C for medium-rare duck breast. Seal the duck breast in a vacuum bag and cook in the water bath for 1.5 to 2 hours. After cooking, pat the duck dry and sear it in a hot pan, skin-side down, until the skin is crispy and golden.
