Preparation steps

1.

Preheat the oven to 120°C (approximately 250°F).

2.

Rinse the duck breasts and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper and cook about 8 minutes on medium heat on the skin side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.

3.

Peel the onion and cut into fine strips. Rinse the carrots and cut the leaves back to about 4 cm (approximately 1 1/2 inch).

4.

Melt the butter in a pan and sauté the carrots over low heat for 1-2 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine (or a little water).

5.

Bring the carrots to a boil, then reduce the temperature slightly. Cook approximately 10 minutes until tender, stirring occasionally. The liquid should be almost completely evaporated.

6.

Mix 2 tablespoons of honey with the soy sauce and brush onto the duck during the last 5 minutes. Increase the temperature to 200°C (approximately 400°F) to cook the glaze.

7.

Just before done, pour the remaining honey and butter over the top of the carrots and stir. Season with salt and lemon juice.

8.

Cut the duck into thin slices and arrange on dinner plates. Top with the glazed carrots and the onions. Garnish with watercress nuts as desired.
