Ingredients

4 tablespoons honey

30cl chicken stock

1 teaspoon 4-spice powder

2 star anise flowers

2 knobs of butter

1 small bunch chives

Salt

Instruction

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 180°C.
  2. Squeeze the juice from one grapefruit and cut the other into segments.
  3. Using the tip of a knife, score the duck breast on the skin side in a criss-cross pattern, without going all the way into the flesh.
  4. In a frying pan, over medium heat, heat the duck breast without fat for 6 minutes, regularly draining off excess fat. Turn the duck breast over to brown each side. Set the pan aside and place the duck breast in the oven for 7 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, add a knob of butter to the well-drained pan to loosen the cooking juices.
  6. Add the Florida Grapefruit pieces and sauté for 1 minute over high heat, then remove from the pan.
  7. Pour the Florida Grapefruit juice and stock into the pan. Allow to simmer slightly.
  8. Add the spices and honey. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, then add the grapefruit pieces.
  9. Leave your duck breast to rest under aluminum foil for 10 minutes to ensure even, tender meat.
  10. Serve with parsnip purée, finishing with a sprinkling of chopped chives.
