Ingredients
- 2 duck breasts
- 2 tablespoons lavender honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 pound baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2In a small bowl, mix together the lavender honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- 3Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern, making sure not to cut into the meat.
- 4Season the duck breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 5In a cold, oven-safe skillet, place the duck breasts skin-side down, then turn the heat to medium-low. Allow the fat to render slowly for about 8-10 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- 6Remove excess fat from the skillet, leaving about a tablespoon. Flip the duck breasts over and pour the lavender honey glaze over them. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the glaze begins to caramelize.
- 7Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- 8While the duck rests, toss the baby carrots with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper on a lined baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- 9To serve, slice the duck breast against the grain and plate alongside the roasted carrots. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the duck and garnish with chopped parsley.
