THE GINGER PIG

Duck Breast

Large duck breasts from our Botterill’s ducks. Rich, deep flavour with a good layer of fat under the skin that crisps up beautifully when rendered slowly in a pan.

Our ducks are reared to full maturity which makes them twice the size of a standard duck, and so each breast will serve two people.

Botterills ducks are all game hung to create an intense flavour and dry-plucked to maintain the quality of the skin. At certain times of the year, there will be some stubborn feather quills – these can be easily removed before cooking (and any small ones will melt away.

Score fat and season well. Cook fat side down over medium high heat in a dry pan for 6 mins, removing excess rendered fat with a spoon. Keep the fat for cooking as it tastes amazing. Turn and cook on the other side for 4 mins. Use tongs hold and seal brown all sides of the breast then rest for 10 mins before serving.

Please remove all paper wrapping from your meat and place it on a plate in the fridge away from cooked items. This allows air to circulate around it properly, helping to prolong shelf life.

Average shelf life: 2-3 days.

Vacuum-packed meat can be put straight in the fridge and has a longer shelf life.
