Grilled Moulard Duck Breast with Blueberry Sauce and Foie Gras on the Arteflame Grill

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

For the Duck:

• 4 Moulard duck breasts
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Blueberry Sauce:

• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Foie Gras:

• 4 slices of foie gras (about 2 ounces each)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

1. Prep the Duck:

   • Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
   • Preheat your Arteflame grill to medium-high heat.

2. Cook the Duck:

   • Brush the grill with olive oil. Place the duck breasts skin-side down on the grill.
   • Cook for 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes for medium-rare. Adjust the time for your preferred doneness.
   • Remove the duck from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.

3. Make the Blueberry Sauce:

   • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, and thyme.
   • Cook until the blueberries burst and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
   • Set aside and keep warm.

4. Grill the Foie Gras:

   • Season the foie gras slices with salt and pepper.
   • Place the foie gras on the grill and cook for 1 minute per side until golden brown and slightly charred.
   • Remove from the grill and rest for a minute.

5. Assemble the Dish:

   • Slice the rested duck breasts.
   • Place a slice of grilled foie gras on each plate.
   • Arrange the sliced duck breast alongside the foie gras.
