Cooking Steps

Roast squash
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add squash and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
  • Roast in the bottom of the oven for 22-25 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
Prep and start risotto
2
  • Quarter mushrooms.
  • Finely chop shallot.
  • In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter over medium.
  • When the pot is hot, add shallots, mushrooms and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) water. Cook for 5-6 min, stirring occasionally, until veggies are softened and water evaporates. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add rice. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until fragrant.
Simmer risotto
3
  • To the pot, add broth concentrate, thyme sprigs and 2 1/4 cups (4 1/2 cups) water. Bring to a simmer over high.
  • Once simmering, cover and reduce heat to medium-low. (NOTE: The risotto should maintain a very gentle simmer; adjust the heat as needed.) Cook for 16-20 min, removing the lid to stir frequently, until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Remove and discard thyme sprigs.
  • Stir Parmesan and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into cooked rice. Let stand for 5 min, covered and off heat. Season with salt and pepper. 
Prep and sear duck
4
  • Meanwhile, on a separate cutting board, pat duck dry with paper towels.
  • Using a sharp knife, score skin side of duck in a criss-cross pattern. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To a cold, large non-stick pan, add duck skin-side down. Cook over medium-low for 10-12 min, until skin is crispy. Flip duck over and cook for 2-3 min, until golden. (NOTE: Duck will finish cooking in the next step!)
Roast duck
5
  • Remove the pan from heat, then transfer duck to another parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side up.
  • Roast duck in the middle of the oven for 8-13 min, until cooked through.**
  • Remove duck from the oven, brush 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) balsamic glaze on duck skin and return to the oven for 1 min, until caramelized.
  • When duck is done, transfer to a plate to rest for 3-5 min.
Make salad and serve
6
  • In a large bowl, whisk together remaining balsamic glaze and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. (NOTE: This is your dressing!) 
  • When duck and risotto are done, add arugula and spinach mix to dressing, then toss to coat.
  • On a clean cutting board, thinly slice duck.
  • Divide risotto between plates. Top with duck.
  • Serve salad alongside, top with squash, salad topping mix and feta.
