Roasted skinless duck breast is a classic dish that is both elegant and flavorful. The secret to a perfectly cooked duck breast is to render the fat under the skin while keeping the meat moist and tender. This can be achieved by searing the duck breast in a hot skillet and then roasting it in a moderate oven until the desired doneness is reached. The result is a succulent and juicy duck breast with a crispy skin that is sure to impress.

PAN ROASTED DUCK BREAST
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- With a sharp knife score the fat of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern. Season the duck with salt and pepper. Warm a heavy bottomed ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
- Place the duck breasts, fat side down, in the skillet to render off the fat, about 6 minutes. Reserve rendered duck fat. Turn the duck breasts over and sear for 1 minute. Turn the fat side down again and place the skillet into the oven to roast for 7 to 9 minutes, until breasts are medium rare. Let the duck breasts rest for 5 minutes then thinly slice.
- Grate the potatoes and squeeze out excess liquid using your hands. Toss the potatoes with the melted butter, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of duck fat in a 6-inch cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Press some of the potato mixture into the hot pan to make a 1/4-inch thick cake. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the rosti is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the rosti in the pan and add more duck fat. Continue cooking until golden and crisp. Place the finished rosti onto an unlined baking sheet and continue cooking the rest of the potato mixture. Reheat rosti in a 400 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
- Combine the brown sugar, raspberry vinegar, red wine vinegar, and white wine vinegar in a medium pot. Place over medium-low heat and stir to dissolve the brown sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the blueberries, onion, green peppercorns, lemon juice, and ginger. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- The chutney will keep for several weeks stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

Steps:
- Score fat on duck breast in criss-cross pattern at one-inch intervals.
- Mix the five-spice powder, honey, soy sauce and lemon juice together in a dish, brush the mixture over both sides of the duck breasts and place the breasts in a dish. Cover and allow to marinate at least an hour at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator, whichever is more convenient.
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees.
- Heat large, heavy skillet, preferably nonstick, to very hot. Remove duck breasts from marinade, reserving marinade for sauce, if desired. Place duck breasts in the skillet skin side down and sear for about two minutes, just until the skin is well browned. Remove the duck breasts from the skillet. Pour all the fat out of the skillet (reserve the fat for the sauce or other cooking, if you wish). Return the duck breasts to the skillet skin side up and cook for about a minute, just until the meat is seared.
- Transfer the duck breasts skin side up to a baking dish that will hold them in a single layer. Place in the oven for about an hour. By this time the duck breasts will be uniformly pink throughout. They can remain in the oven as long as two hours and can sit warming even longer if the oven is turned off after two hours. The recipe can also be expanded for as many duck breasts as you need.
- To serve, slice the duck breasts on an angle, into slices a quarter to a half-inch thick. Array on a platter and serve.

- Choose high-quality duck breasts. Look for duck breasts that are firm and have a good amount of marbling. Avoid duck breasts that are bruised or have any other signs of damage.
- Score the skin of the duck breasts. This will help the fat render out more easily and will also help the seasoning to penetrate the meat.
- Season the duck breasts generously. Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a little bit of brown sugar to help caramelize the skin.
- Roast the duck breasts in a hot oven. This will help to crisp up the skin and cook the meat evenly.
- Let the duck breasts rest before carving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
