Ideal for a weekend dinner or a special occasion, this high-protein recipe focuses on high-quality ingredients and simple techniques. The addition of a dry red wine reduction adds a touch of acidity and complexity, cutting through the richness of the duck. Serve alongside steamed seasonal greens or roasted root vegetables for a balanced, homemade meal that is both healthy and satisfying.

Ingredients for Sauteed Duck Breasts with Wild Mushrooms

  • 110g boneless duck breast halves with skin

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 575g assorted wild mushrooms (such as oyster, portobello with gills scraped out, and stemmed shiitake), sliced (about 1025g )

  • 240ml thinly sliced shallots

  • 1/2 cup dry red wine

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

How to make Sauteed Duck Breasts with Wild Mushrooms

Preheat oven to 149°C. Using sharp knife, score skin of duck breasts diagonally to create 3/4-inch-wide diamond pattern; pat dry. Sprinkle duck with salt and pepper. Heat heavy large skillet over high heat. Add duck breasts, skin side down. Cook until skin is deep golden brown, about 8 minutes. Turn duck over; cook about 3 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven.

Pour all but 1 tablespoon drippings from skillet. Add oil. Reduce heat to medium-high. Add mushrooms and shallots and sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add wine and stir until juices thicken, scraping up browned bits, about 1 minute.

Place 1 duck breast on each of 4 plates. Pour mushroom sauce over, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
