Cooking Tips

• Make sure to score the skin of the duck breast to help render the fat and achieve a crispy skin.
• Let the duck breast rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and ensure a tender result.
• If passion fruit juice is not available, you can use a combination of orange juice and passion fruit pulp for the sauce.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover duck breast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the duck breast in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
• Serve the duck breast with passion fruit sauce immediately for the best flavor and texture.
