Directions

Directions

  1. With a sharp knife, make a crisscross pattern on the skin of the duck breasts; cooking with the skin helps retain the juiciness of the meat.

  2. In a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, sear the duck breasts, skin side down, for 12 to 15 minutes. Flip the duck and continue to cook for 5 to 6 minutes more—or longer, depending on your desired doneness. Remove the duck from the pan and tent with foil on a plate to keep warm.

  3. Add the romaine lettuce and radicchio to a bowl.

  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, mustard, salt, and pepper. Drizzle half of the dressing over the greens and toss to coat. Place the dressed greens on a serving platter. Arrange the orange sections on top of the greens.

  5. Remove the skin from the duck. Thinly slice the duck, then arrange the slices over the greens. Drizzle with the remaining dressing and garnish with the walnuts.
