Tips

  • Ensure duck skin is properly scored in a crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat, this helps render fat evenly.
  • For perfectly crisp skin, start searing the duck in a cold pan, skin-side down, allowing the fat to slowly render out.
  • Pair this rich dish with a light, peppery Pinot Noir or a dry sparkling Rosé to complement the duck and gastrique.
