How to cook Duck salad with cardamom, apricots and onions

Step 1

Preheat oven in convection mode to 150°C. Cut the peeled onion into feathers and put in ice water for 15-30 minutes. Chop the almonds so that there are both small pieces and large ones.

Step 2

Cut the apricots in half, remove the pits. Cut the pulp into slices 1 cm thick. Sprinkle with vinegar, salt and pepper.

Step 3

Mix honey, vinegar and ground cardamom. Cut the skin on the duck fillets crosswise without cutting through the meat. Salt and pepper. Grill skin side down in a well-heated grill pan, 5 minutes. Turn over, brush with honey mixture and put in the oven for 4-5 minutes. Remove, cover slightly with foil and cool almost completely.

Step 4

For dressing, combine duck juice, orange juice and hoisin. Dilute a little with olive oil.

Step 5

Throw the onion in a colander, dry, put in a dressing. Mix onion with dressing and apricots.

Step 6

Slice the duck breast thinly. Arrange spinach leaves on plates, top with apricots and onions, then duck. Drizzle with dressing, sprinkle with almonds, salt and pepper and serve.

Duck salad with cardamom, apricots and onions - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use dried apricots instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can substitute dried apricots. Rehydrate them by soaking in warm water for about 30 minutes before using, and adjust the amount of vinegar slightly if they are very sweet.

I don't have cardamom. What's a good substitute?

A good substitute for cardamom is a pinch of nutmeg or ginger. Start with a small amount as these spices can be quite strong.

How long can I store leftover duck salad?

Leftover duck salad is best consumed within 1-2 days. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The spinach may wilt slightly.

Can I make this salad vegetarian?

Yes, substitute grilled halloumi or tofu for the duck. Ensure the halloumi is well-grilled for a similar texture and flavor profile. Consider adding smoked paprika to tofu for a duck-like taste.

What can I serve this salad with?

This duck salad is delicious on its own as a light meal. You can also serve it with crusty bread or a side of quinoa to make it more substantial.

How can I adjust the recipe for a low-carb diet?

To reduce carbs, minimize or eliminate the honey in the dressing. You can also replace regular apricots with a small amount of unsweetened dried cranberries or blueberries. Be mindful of the hoisin sauce, as some brands contain added sugar; consider using a low-sugar alternative.

Can I grill the duck breast in a regular pan if I don't have a grill pan?

Yes, you can use a regular heavy-bottomed skillet. Make sure the pan is well-heated before adding the duck to achieve a good sear.

Is it possible to prepare parts of this salad in advance?

Yes, you can chop the onions and soak them in ice water, prepare the dressing, and chop the almonds ahead of time. It's best to grill the duck and assemble the salad just before serving to keep everything fresh.
