Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (about 200g each) Duck breast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 12 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 4 tablespoons Hoisin sauce (keto-friendly)
- 1 medium, julienned Cucumber
- 2 stalks, julienned Green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the duck breasts dry with paper towels and lightly score the skin in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the flesh.
Season the duck breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and Chinese five-spice powder.
Heat the olive oil in a heavy oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 6 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Flip the duck breasts and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for about 10-12 minutes until the duck is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare.
Remove duck from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
To assemble the keto duck pancakes, lay out each romaine lettuce leaf as a wrap.
Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of keto-friendly hoisin sauce on each lettuce leaf.
Arrange several slices of duck, cucumber matchsticks, and green onions on top.
Roll the lettuce leaf to enclose the filling, secure with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately.
