Duck Breast With Apples Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
4 skinless duck breasts - (5 oz ea), all fat removed
Refrigerated butter-flavored cooking spray, as needed
1 medium onion - (5 oz), minced
2 large garlic cloves, minced
3 fresh sage leaves, minced
= (or 1/4 tspn rubbed dried sage)
1 tsp minced fresh rosemary
= (or 1/4 tspn crushed dried rosemary)
1/2 oz low-fat low-sodium ham, chopped
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fat-free no-salt-added canned chicken
broth
2 medium Granny Smith apples - (10 oz total), cored, sliced
= (or Fiji apples)
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Extra fresh sage leaves for garnish, (optional)

Recipe Instructions:

Combine the allspice, pepper, and salt; rub into the duck breasts. Allow to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add the duck breasts and sauté over high heat until browned on both sides. Lower heat and cook until medium-rare, about another 3 minutes per side. Do not overcook duck breast as it becomes dry and stringy. Transfer duck breasts to a heated platter; keep warm.

Add the onion, garlic, sage, rosemary, and ham to the skillet. Stir in wine and broth. Reduce liquid to about 1/3 cup.

Spray another nonstick skillet with cooking spray and sauté apple slices with red winger until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Set aside.

Add the duck breasts to the reduced sauce and reheat. Place a duck breast on each of 4 serving plates. Top with equal portions of the sauce and apples. Serve immediately.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
