Kitchen Tools

Preparation

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and season the duck breast with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the duck breast, skin side down, for about 5 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the duck breast to a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until cooked to your desired level of doneness. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

While the duck is roasting, quarter the figs and chop the pistachios. In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with honey until smooth. Spread a generous layer of the goat cheese mixture on a serving plate.

Slice the duck breast thinly and arrange it on top of the goat cheese mixture. Scatter the figs and pistachios over the duck and drizzle with a little more honey. Season with a pinch of salt and a crack of black pepper.
