How Do You Prepare Wild Duck Breast?
To prepare wild duck breast, start by trimming any excess fat or membrane from the meat. Score the skin in a crosshatch pattern and season with salt and pepper. Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat and place the duck breast skin-side down. Cook for 6-7 minutes or until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. For medium-rare meat, the internal temperature should be 135°F. Rest the meat for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Wild duck breast pairs well with fruity sauces or sides such as raspberry or cherry compote or roasted root vegetables.
