Recipe for roasted duck fillet.

1. ROASTED DUCK FILLET
Lightly Cooked
Sauté or steam fresh vegetables on the stove top to contrast
with the heaviness of the roast duck. Green beans, snow peas,
zucchini, baby carrots and broccoli cook quickly and will
complement the meat. Do not add any extra butter to the pan as
the duck will have enough fat for each serving. Add a side of
soft mashed potatoes for a traditional meal.
Roasted duck takes time to cook. The body of meat is surrounded
by a thick layer of fat that renders out during the roasting
process. If you want to add vegetables to the oven during the
roasting process, they need to be the type that withstands long
and slow heat. Otherwise, you can choose to add them towards the
end of the roasting time, cook vegetables separately to serve
with the roasted duck or simply serve raw vegetables.
Raw Vegetables
Serve the duck on a bed of fresh greens like baby spinach,
arugula, dandelion greens or any combination tossed in balsamic
vinaigrette mixed with chopped raisins and thinly sliced red
onions. The depth of the roasted duck flavor should contrast
nicely with the piquancy of the vinegar and onions and the
tender crunch of the greens against the soft duck meat.
