Duck in red bilberry sauce (Утка в брусничном соусе)

Overview

The combination of duck and sour berries is traditional for Russian cuisine, and red bilberry is a perfect match.

Ingredients

  • Salt, pepper
  • 1 teaspoon starch
  • Half a pound of red bilberry
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1 kilo duck breasts

Cooking

Clean the duck breasts and fry on a well-heated pan till a golden crust is formed. Put the pre-cooked pieces into a thick-walled pot and pour hot water on top so that it covers two thirds of the duck. Crush the berries together with the sugar and starch and saute in a frying pan for 2-3 minutes. Then add it to the poultry, salt and pepper to your taste and cook on a mid-low heat for 25 minutes.

TIP:

For lack of red bilberry in the supermarkets, you can use red currant or cranberries.
