Farm duck

60 minutes

Farm duck is a refined dish of Russian cuisine that combines simplicity and richness of flavors. Historically, duck was a popular meat on peasant and noble tables, and this recipe preserves the traditions of Russian gastronomy. The breast undergoes gentle marination in kefir, making the meat tender and giving it a slight tanginess. Frying in a dry pan reveals the rich flavor of duck fat, while wrapping in foil with black pepper completes the aromatic composition. Thin slices of duck harmonize perfectly with crispy red cabbage, creating a contrast of textures. This dish is suitable for both a cozy family dinner and a festive table, impressing guests with its elegance and rich taste.
