Recipe for duck with apples, apple jelly and apple foam

Looking to truly impress someone? Now’s your chance to shine and showcase your culinary skills. You’ll be using the sous vide method and bringing out your siphon bottle.

Few things compare to tender duck with crispy skin. While many of us limit our duck consumption to the Christmas season or St. Martin’s Day, it’s a dish that not only can but should be enjoyed year-round.

Duck and apples go hand in hand in the same way movie trips and popcorn do. Here, the duck is finely accompanied by apple in the form of, among other things, jelly and foam.

This dish is perfect for a romantic dinner, but we guarantee it also fits other occasions. If you want to break with tradition a bit, you can, for example, serve it as a reinterpretation of the classic roasted duck on St. Martin’s Day.
