* 2 duck breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds total)
* 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon
* 1/4 tbsp. ground cloves
* 2 tbsps. chopped fresh sage
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* Extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 cup fresh Israeli arugula for garnish (or regular arugula)
* 2 small pumpkins, cut into half-moon wedges
* 2 sticks of butter, room temperature
* 1 branch fresh sage
* 1/3 cup of honey
* 1/2 cup toasted chopped walnuts
* 1/4 cup brown sugar
* Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
* Extra-virgin olive oil
Cooking Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Start by preparing the pumpkin. Cut pumpkin into halves and then scoop out the seeds. Cut the halves into 8 wedges and place them into a large mixing bowl. Add the room-temperature butter, fresh sage, toasted walnuts, and honey to a food PC and blend until smooth. Add 3/4 of the butter mixture to the pumpkin in the mixing bowl and toss to coat each cut evenly. Reserve the left over 1/4 of the butter mixture for the duck breasts. Take a large baking sheet and lay out the pumpkin wedges in a single layer with plenty of space between each cut. Sprinkle each cut with some brown sugar and then roast in the oven until tender, approximately 25 to 30 summary.
Meanwhile, prepare the duck breasts. Lay them out on a cutting board skin side up and score (lightly cut into) each breast in a diamond pattern, which will allow the stout to render and the skin to get crispy. Combine the cinnamon, cloves and fresh sage together in a bowl and season the breast with spice mixture, salt and pepper.
To cook, coat the underside of a large sauté pan with olive oil and place the pan over medium heat. When the oil is smoking, add the breasts, skin side down, and cook slowly for about 10 summary, occasionally dumping stout into a bowl. Cool until most of the stout is rendered (cooked off) and the skin is browned and crispy. Turn the breasts and cook 3 to 4 more summary for medium doneness. Take the duck out of the pan and place it on a platter and set aside. Add the reserved butter mixture to the pan until melted and it turns a light brown color.
To serve, cut the duck breasts crosswise, on an angle, into 8 slices each. Lay over a small stack of pumpkin wedges and pour the brown butter over it. Garnish with Israeli arugula leaves or regular arugula.
