Soy sauce and honey glazed duck breast with pancetta, sesame oil and Savoy cabbage

Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 duck breasts
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 star anise
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 140g cubed pancetta
  • ½ Savoy cabbage, thickly sliced
  • 2 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • fresh pepper

Method

Start by scoring the skin of the duck breasts with a sharp knife. Be careful not to cut through the flesh. Pat dry the skin with kitchen towel and season well with lots of salt and pepper on the skin. Heat a pan till hot, then add the duck breasts, skin side down, and cook for a minute or two to crisp the skin. Turn the duck onto the opposite side, and seal for another minute. Add the garlic, honey, soy sauce and star anise. Swirl the juice around the pan, coating the skin side of the duck breasts. Turn the duck breasts around, skin side up and continue to cook in the oven for about 6-8 minutes, or till the duck breasts are cooked through but still pink. Take out of the oven, remove the duck breasts from the pan and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Meanwhile, remove the garlic and star anis from the pan and continue to reduce the juices left in the pan, over a high heat till you have a rich reduction. Next, start preparing the Savoy cabbage with pancetta. In a large pan, heat the oil and fry the pancetta till crispy and brown. Add the sliced Savoy cabbage and spring onions and cook for a few minutes to soften the cabbage, but leave slightly crispy. Add the sesame oil, season well with pepper and mix. Finally, slice the duck breasts into 6 pieces and arrange on your serving plates. Serve the Savoy cabbage and pancetta on the side, and finally drizzle the reduced pan juices over the duck breast or on the side of the plate.

Sidra tal-papra bis-soy sauce ul-għasel, bil-kaboċċa, pancetta u żejt-tal ġunġlien

Ingredients

  • 2 isdra tal-papra
  • 3 sinniet tewm, mgħaffġa
  • 3 mgħaref għasel
  • 2 mgħaref soy sauce
  • 2 stilel tal-ħlewwa (star anise)
  • mgħarfa żejt
  • 140g panċetta, imqattgħa f’dadi
  • ½ kaboċċa mkemmxa (Savoy), imqattgħa f’biċċiet ħoxnin
  • 2 spring onions, imqattgħin roti
  • kuċċarina żejt tal-ġunġlien
  • bżar frisk

Method

B’sikkina tajba, xaqqaq il-ġilda tal-isdra tal-papra minn diversi naħat. Importanti li ma tinżilx sal-laħam. Ixxotta l-ġilda b’karta u ħawwarha b’ħafna bżar u melħ. Saħħan taġen u meta jsir jaħraq sew itfa’ l-isdra tal-papra wiċċhom ’l isfel. Sajjarhom għal minuta jew tnejn biex il-ġilda tiġi tqarmeċ. Aqlibhom u sajjarhom għal minuta oħra biex tissiġillahom minn taħt. Imbagħad itfa’ t-tewm, l-għasel, is-soy sauce u l-istilel tal-ħlewwa. Ibqa’ xarrab il-ġilda bil-meraq tat-taġen. Aqleb l-isdra tal-papra, bil-ġilda n-naħa ta’ fuq u kompli sajjar fil-forn għal madwar 6-8 minuti, jew sakemm ikunu saru (imma jkunu għadhom roża). Oħroġ l-isdra tal-papra mill-forn, neħħihom mit-taġen u ħallihom joqogħdu għal ftit minuti. Sadattant neħħi t-tewm u l-istilel tal-ħlewwa mit-taġen u ħalli l-meraq fuq nar għoli, sakemm jagħqad. Imbagħad ibda lesti l-kaboċċa bil-panċetta. F’taġen kbir saħħan iż-żejt u aqli l-biċċiet tal-panċetta sakemm jiħmaru u jiġu jqarmċu. Żid il-biċċiet tal-kaboċċa u l-basal u sajjar għal ftit minuti sakemm il-kaboċċa tirtab ftit. Żid iż-żejt tal-ġunġlien, ħawwar bil-bżar u ħawwad. Fl-aħħar nett, qatta’ l-isdra tal-papra f’6 biċċiet u rranġahom fil-platti li tkun se sservi fihom. Servi l-kaboċċa u l-panċetta fil-ġenb u ferrex il-meraq tat-taġen fuq il-biċċiet tal-papra jew fil-ġenb tal-platt.
