Duck Breasts With Poblano Chile Recipes

DUCK BREASTS WITH POBLANO CHILE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the chiles. Then remove the stem and the seeds. Cut the chiles into short, thin strips. Set aside. 2. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook the onion until it starts to brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the oregano, parsley, and chile strips. Cook, stirring, 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the tomato. 3. Heat a large heavy dry skillet over medium heat. Arrange the duck breasts skin side down in the dry pan. Cook without turning until the skin is nicely browned, about 10 minutes. (The fat will render as the duck cooks, and the skin will become crisp. Take care not to blacken the skin.) Turn and cook the second side until medium rare, 4 to 5 minutes, or medium, 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, reheat the sauce. Slice each duck breast crosswise on a diagonal and arrange overlapping on each of 4 plates. Spoon a line of the heated sauce across each serving.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes."
