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
  1. 1Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 2In a small bowl, mix together the lavender honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. 3Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern, making sure not to cut into the meat.
  4. 4Season the duck breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
