Duck breast with skin
Description
Duck breast with skin is meat with an intense, slightly gamey aroma and a deep, dark red color, featuring a layer of golden, crispy skin when fried or roasted. The flavor is rich and buttery, while the skin provides a contrast in textures — juicy interior and crunchy, aromatic exterior. It pairs perfectly with fruit sauces, red wine, and spices, as well as in Asian cuisines, in salads, or as part of main dishes served with potatoes, grains, or vegetables. Nutritionally, duck breast is a good source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins; however, it contains relatively more fat than white poultry, especially under the skin, including monounsaturated fatty acids. The fat improves the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and provides a feeling of fullness, so it's worth controlling portion sizes. Store in the refrigerator for 1–2 days or freeze for about 6 months, keeping it in an airtight container, thaw in the refrigerator, and dry the skin before cooking to achieve crispiness.
