Method
-
Gently heat the olive oil with the chopped garlic and ginger for 2 minutes without browning. Add 300 ml water and the kombu.
-
Simmer gently for 5 minutes and remove the seaweed.
-
Add the katsuobushi, soy sauce and lemon juice, take off the heat and steep for 5 minutes.
-
Strain the infusion. Mix the cornflour with the remaining 30 ml of cold water, stir into the broth and cook until lightly thickened.
-
Score a shallow diamond pattern into the skin of the duck breasts without cutting the flesh. Add salt and pepper.
-
Place skin-side down in a frying pan and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes to render the fat. Turn and continue until the centre reaches 74°C; timing depends on thickness. Rest for 5 minutes.
-
Pour off all but a tablespoon of the rendered fat. Sauté the pine nuts, chopped spring garlic and sliced shiitake mushrooms for 5–6 minutes.
-
Slice the duck and serve with the vegetables and warm sauce. Add the parsley at the end.
