Method
- Score the duck breast skin in a crosshatch pattern.
- Place the duck breast skin-side down in a cold pan and cook over low heat to render the fat and crisp the skin.
- Once the skin is golden and crispy, increase the heat and sear the flesh side.
- Remove the duck and let it rest.
- Prepare the duck stock: roast duck bones with celery, carrot, onion, and spices, then simmer to reduce.
- Prepare the coconut and carrot dice: peel and dice fresh coconut and carrots. Season with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- For the curry oil: blend olive oil with yellow curry paste and turmeric.
- Dress the mushrooms with some curry oil and a pinch of salt.
- Grill the mushrooms in the duck fat released from the skin until cooked.
- For the coconut foam: combine coconut milk, mirin, and rice vinegar (400g, 7g, 3g). Whip or foam using an immersion blender.
- To plate: place the carrot-coconut dice in the center of the plate. Cover with coconut foam. Arrange the grilled mushrooms on top. Slice the duck breast and place alongside. Drizzle with duck stock and finish with extra curry oil.
