Pan-seared magret duck breast with truffle sauce

Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons duck and veal demi glace
- 1.5 oz of black truffle butter
- 2 Moulard Duck Magrets
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preparation
1. With a knife, score the skin of the magrets in a criss-cross pattern, making the squares as small as possible without cutting into the meat. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat a pan over high flame. When hot, place the duck breasts skin side down and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 8 minutes, while continuously draining off the rendered fat. Flip over and cook for 4 minutes on the meat side.
3. Remove the duck breasts to a cutting board and tent with foil while resting for at least 5 minutes.
4. Pour out the duck fat from the pan, you will want to use it to cook mushroom or potatoes on the side, it is delicious!
5. Add the 2 tbs of duck demi-glace to the pan over medium heat, then add the truffle butter and mix vigorously with a spoon. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
6. Meanwhile, slice magrets in 1/4 inch slices. Lay slices on warm plates in a fan pattern then top each portion with the sauce. Serve immediately.
Serves 4.
