We must not preheat the frying pan otherwise sigilleremmo the meat that would not release the excess fat.
During cooking the fat will melt and fill the bottom of the pan by frying the skin and making it crispy. We cook until the meat in contact with the skin will start to take color.

It's time to reveal what particular ingredient I was talking about at the beginning of the post. To accompany the duck breast, I prepared a puree of Jerusalem, a tuber with a delicate flavor reminiscent of the artichoke. To prepare the mash, just follow the recipe here by simply replacing the potatoes, the same amount of Jerusalem. With the help of a coppapasta we put, slightly decentralized, 4-5 tablespoons of mashed potatoes, cut into slices the breast of duck following the incisions made earlier on the skin then fan-shaped on the edge of the mash. We complete the dish with some sprouts, the sauce advanced in the pan with the eventual addition of the emulsion of the one present on the baking sheet on the meat and the pomegranate beans which, with their acidity, will create a pleasant contrast with the rest of Ingredients.
