Duck with Coffee, Cocoa, St. Agur and Black Currant Recipe
Flavors of Paris and the Ile-de-France
Preparation time: 35 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Chef's Note
As a side, I recommend mashed potato enriched with a few pieces of St. Agur cheese.
Ingredients
For 2 servings
- 1 duck breast (preferably des Dombes)
- 2 cocoa beans or 1 Tbsp. ground cocoa (grué)
- 1 Tbsp. coriander seeds
- 130 g Saint Agur blue cheese
- 50 g black currants
- Duck jus made from duck bones
- 1 espresso coffee
Decor
- chervil or baby mustard leaves
Method
- Begin cooking the duck breasts, skin side down, at a low temperature. The fat will gradually begin to run. At this point, start increasing the skillet temperature. Check the color by gently lifting the breast until the skin is nicely browned and crispy.
- Remove the duck and pour the fat out of the pan, then deglaze the skillet with the duck jus.
- Add the espresso and black currants and cook for 5 minutes.
- Cut the duck in half and press the skin into the mixture of coriander seed and ground cocoa; transfer to plates.
- Sprinkle the duck with a few spoonfuls of St. Agur, cut into little pieces, then sauce with the black currant jus.
- Garnish with a little chervil or baby mustard leaves.
