Duck With Ginger and Scallions

Submitted by: Karen Paulosky, Occupational Medicine

4 Ducks breasted out
1 2" piece of Ginger root
1 bunch of scallions

1 cup of stock
4 Tbsp hot unsalted butter
1/2 cup of sesame oil
Slice duck breasts in horizontally and saute in 1 Tbsp of butter for 3-4 minutes/slice or until spongy to touch. Chop the green part of the scallions into 1/4 inch pieces. Peel and julienne the ginger root into pieces 1/16" by 1" in size and put in cup with sesame oil. Put cooked duck breasts into a heated platter. Add the stock to the pan that the ducks were cooked in and cook over high heat scraping the bottom with a wire whisk. Cook until the liquid has been reduced to about 1/4 cup. Whisk in remaining 3 Tbsp of butter. Now add ginger and scallions. Arrange duck on platter and pour sauce over them. Serve. Enjoy.
