Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
- To a medium pot, add wild rice medley, half the broth concentrate, half the garlic salt and 1 cup (2 cups) water. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook for 20-24 min, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice chives.
- Trim green beans.
- Remove the pot from heat.
- Add cranberries on top. Set aside, still covered.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine squash, half the mustard and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange squash mixture.
- Roast in the bottom of the oven for 20-22 min, flipping halfway through, until tender and golden.
- While the squash cooks, pat duck dry with paper towels.
- On a seperate cutting board, using a sharp knife, score skin sides of duck in a criss-cross pattern. Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt.
- To a cold large non-stick pan, add duck breasts skin-sides down. Cook over medium for 10-12 min, until skin is crispy.
- In a small heat-proof bowl, reserve duck fat.
- Transfer duck to another parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-sides up.
- Roast duck in the middle of the oven for 8-13 min, until cooked through.**
- Carefully wipe the pan clean.
- When duck is done, transfer to a plate to rest for 3-5 min.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-low.
- When hot, add almonds to the dry pan. Toast for 3-5 min, stirring often, until golden. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer almonds to a plate.
- Keep heat at medium-low, then add green beans and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Cook for 4-5 min, stirring often, until water evaporates.
- Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) reserved duck fat. (NOTE: Save remaining duck fat for a future creation!) Cook for 1 min, until green beans are tender-crisp. Season pepper and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) garlic salt. Transfer to a plate.
- Reduce heat to low.
- Add cooking wine, maple syrup, remaining mustard, remaining broth concentrate and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Cook for 1-3 min, stirring often, until sauce is reduced and thickened.
- On a clean cutting board, thinly slice duck.
- Add resting duck juices to the sauce.
- In a large bowl, combine rice with cranberries, chives, butternut squash, almonds and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter. Season with salt.
- Divide duck, wild rice pilaf and green beans between plates.
- Spoon sauce over duck.
