Ingredients: Fresh Duck Breast

Shelf Life: 1 week in refrigerator or freeze up to 6 months

Description: These moulard duck breasts (magrets) are more flavorful and larger than regular duck breasts since they come from a duck that has produced foie gras.

Cooking/Serving Suggestions: Score the fat and marinate with olive oil, salt, pepper and Herbes de Provence or fresh herbs of your choice for several hours in the refrigerator. Preheat oven to 350˚. Heat an iron skillet and sauté skin side down for 4 minutes, draining excess fat if desired. Turn over and cook for another 4 minutes. Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes, skin facing up. Take out of the oven and let sit for 8 minutes. Sauce: Green Peppercorn – heat heavy cream, salt, pepper, and green peppercorns together in a pan and spoon on top of magret.
