Garlic-Butter Duck Hearts

Equipment

Sharp knife
Cutting board
Frying pan or cast iron skillet
Wooden spoon or tongs
Small bowl (for seasoning mix)

Ingredients

500 grams duck hearts, trimmed and halved
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp soy sauce
Juice of ½ lemon
Salt and black pepper to taste
Small handful fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the hearts- Rinse, trim excess fat or vessels, and pat dry. Drying helps them brown instead of steam.
Season- Toss the hearts with smoked paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Sear- Heat olive oil in a hot pan. Add duck hearts in a single layer and cook for about 2–3 minutes per side until browned but still tender inside.
Build flavour- Lower heat, add butter and garlic, and stir for 1 minute. Add soy sauce and lemon juice, tossing to coat.
Finish- Sprinkle parsley over the top and serve immediately. They should be tender, slightly pink in the centre, and rich with garlic-butter flavour.
