Caramelized French Duck Baguette
Are you wanting to try something different for lunch? Well try this recipe. I have loved experimenting with Duck, and this recipe is amazing and very french. You would think Duck would taste similar to chicken but its tastes quite similar to a piece of steak.
You can have duck many ways and these duck breasts have been pan fried with a caramelized fig sauce, so delicious. The crispy duck skin along with the sweet caramelized fig sauce brings the whole dish together. You can have the duck breast as is, but I wanted to add in the baguette along with some rocket. Bon Appetit! I was lucky to enjoy this meal with Mariza with a glass of french red wine, which compliments the dish perfectly.
