Step-by-step directions
1 Quickly rinse and carefully dry the duck breast.
2 Make a bed of salt in a container suited to the size of the duck breast.
3 Coat the duck breast with salt, turning it on all sides and pressing it with the palm of your hands. Finish skin side up, well pressed into the salt.
4 Wash your hands: -), cover (with food-grade plastic wrap: -) and leave in the refrigerator for 26 hours.
5 Rinse the duck breast under running water. Dry it very carefully with paper towels.
6 With a skewer, pierce a hole 2 cm from the edge of the thinnest point, and thread a long piece of string through the hole.
7 Discard the brine from the container, wash it and wipe it dry.
8 Spread a generous layer of pepper in the container.
9 Coat the duck breast with pepper on all sides. Add more if necessary.
10 Hang to dry for 15 days in a clean, dry, cool and airy place.
11 Remove excess pepper and slice very thinly just before serving.
Don't remove the skin and fat, that's what the connoisseurs prefer!
Chef Patrick's Comment
Good recipe Personally I score the skin in a crosshatch pattern I barely remove the meat underneath Last piece of advice (smiles) Above all don't forget to put a plate under your drying duck breasts.
