Anniversary Dinner

15 April 2011

Sautéed Duck Breasts

with

French Kiss

and

Bronco Bob’s Raspberry Chipotle Sauce

Leeks and Fine Herbs Risotto

Wilted Spinach with Wine and Butter

==========================================================

Start the risotto early! Takes over an hour to cook. I could not find the pancetta, so used bacon. Gives it a smoky flavor. Short on fine herbs so just used this and that, and the parsley. Made only 2/3 of the recipe.

Cut slits in the fat on the duck breasts and then dusted with French Kiss. Sautéed in the All-Clad fat side first, then poured off most of the rendered fat. Then sautéed meat side down till done. Removed to a warm plate and then added Bronco Bob’s to the pan to make a warm sauce.

Spinach was the usual. Very good with this.

Wine: Natura – Organic Carmener 2009. Self described as “Dark Chocolate, Spiced Currant, Warm Toffee.” From Chile. Was very good with this.
