madbakerThis week's Resolution Recipe: Duck and Arugula Salad.
1 6-8 oz boneless duck breast
pinch salt and pepper
2 cups arugula
1 apple, sliced
3/8 cup soft goat cheese
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1 Tbsp oil
1 cup berries (I used strawberries)
1/2 tsp sugar
1/3 cup veg oil
4 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar
1 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
Rub the duck breast with salt and pepper and vac-seal. Sous vide at 135° for 90 minutes.
Blend together the berries, sugar, oil, vinegar, and mustard. Toss the arugula, apple, goat cheese, and pine nuts with the dressing.
Remove the duck from the bag and pat dry. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the duck, skin side down, for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Slice into thin slices and place on top of the salad.
What worked: eh, it was okay. The duck was nicely done. Er, medium-rare.
What didn't: It wasn't as good as this one. There was too much dressing - while it was tasty enough, it glopped all over everything like a Pepto-grenade.
Will I make it again? No, we'll just make the previous one.
