Duck Breast with Fried Apples and Red Wine Sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 160 ° C fan oven.
Cut off the excess fat on the edges of the duck breast and remove any remaining quills with tweezers. Score the fat side of the duck in a diamond shape. But be careful - do not cut into the meat, otherwise it will dry out quickly. Peel the apples and cut into large wedges.
Heat some butter or 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan. Peel the shallot, cut into fine cubes and sweat in it. When it gets a little color, deglaze with red wine. Simmer for 5 minutes over high heat and then pour in the veal stock. Let simmer further.
Heat the sugar and vinegar in a small saucepan and let the sugar caramelize, then add this to the sauce and continue to simmer. Just before serving, season with a little ground rosemary, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.
Leave the cut off duck fat in an ovenproof pan, remove it and sear the duck breast on the meat side for 2 - 3 minutes. Then turn it over (the pan is hotter than the oven, the fat side will be crispy and the meat side not too dry) and put the duck breast in the hot oven for 14 minutes. Then turn the duck breast over, so with the fat side up and fry at 200 ° C top heat for another 5 minutes. Then place the duck breasts on a kitchen board and let rest until the apples are ready.
If the duck is to be turned in the oven, fry the apple wedges in a little melted butter on both sides for about 5 minutes. Then they are done, do not disintegrate and are nicely browned. Sprinkle the apple wedges with rosemary and add the bacon strips.
After resting, cut the duck breast diagonally and serve with apple wedges and red wine sauce.
A dish without a side dish and I think nothing is missing here. If you still want a side dish, fried polenta, for example, goes well with it.
