Ingredients & Substitutes

Instructions

1. 1

   Score the skin of 2 duck breasts in a precise crosshatch pattern without cutting into the meat, then rub thoroughly with 2 tablespoons of Herbes de Provence, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

2. 2

   Construct the tahini-garlic vinaigrette by vigorously whisking together 3 tablespoons of tahini, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar, 1 minced clove of garlic, 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley until perfectly emulsified and smooth.

3. 3

   Preheat your outdoor grill or fire pit to a steady medium-high heat, then carefully place the seasoned duck breasts skin-side down directly onto the hot grate and cook for 8-10 minutes until the skin becomes crispy and beautifully golden brown, effectively rendering the excess fat.

4. 4

   Turn the duck breasts meat-side down and continue the fire-roasting process for an additional 7-9 minutes to achieve a medium-rare doneness, or extend the cooking time as desired, ensuring the internal temperature reaches at least 60 degrees Celsius.

5. 5

   While the duck rests for 5 minutes off the heat to redistribute its juices, prepare the accompanying vegetables by tossing 1 red bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 zucchini, and 100 grams of cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 0.25 teaspoon of sea salt, and 0.15 teaspoon of black pepper.

6. 6

   Transfer the seasoned vegetables directly to the hot grill grates and fire-roast them for 8-10 minutes, rotating occasionally, until they become tender with appealing char marks.

7. 7

   Precisely slice the rested duck breasts into uniform, thick pieces and elegantly arrange them on individual serving plates, positioning them alongside the vibrant fire-roasted vegetables.

8. 8

   Finish the dish by generously drizzling the creamy Tahini-Garlic Vinaigrette over both the duck and the vegetables immediately before serving to impart its distinct flavor.
