    Let's make this cocktail

  • 1

    Score the fat on the duck breast fillets crosswise with a sharp knife and season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and place the duck breast fat-side down in the pan. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the fat is golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes until the duck is medium-rare. Let rest briefly before slicing the fillets.

  • 2

    Add the figs, grape juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, and optionally a sprig of thyme to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes until the figs are soft and the sauce has slightly thickened.

  • 3

    Slice the duck breast and arrange it on plates. Spoon the fig sauce over or beside the duck for a refined flavor balance.
