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.

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.”

~ Pearl Buck (1892-1973) American Nobel Prize winning author.
