  • 100 g cold butter (in small pieces)
  • 1 thin strip of lemon / orange peel
  • Salt and three turns of pepper from the mill

    Brush the pumpkin well under lukewarm water, as the skin is edible! Dice roughly and place in a closable casserole dish. Add white wine and butter flakes and season with salt, sugar, pepper, nutmeg. Soften for 30 minutes at 180 degrees in the closed mold.

    Heat sugar in the pan to dark caramel and deglaze with the red wine. Add a thin strip of citrus peel to flavor and season with a pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper. Reduce to at least 1/3 of the amount of fluid. Red wine reduction pour through a sieve and stir without further heat supply fridge cold butter pieces to bond.

    Free the duck breasts on the underside of tendons. Scrape the fat layer with a sharp knife like a checkerboard. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper all around. Massage an extra pinch of salt into the fat layer. Place with the fat side in a hot pan without fat. Fry for about two minutes until crispy, then turn and roast the bottom just as long.
