200 g1 one breast fillet (about 200 g)

Typical single duck breast fillet about 200 g.

Duck breast is richer and firmer; chicken is the closest meat, but it is leaner.

• 
  Chicken breast

  Use the same weight; cook 8-10 minutes instead of 15-20. Leaner and less gamey.

• 
  Skinless boneless chicken breast

  Use the same weight; sear gently so it does not dry out. Much milder flavour.

• 
  Boneless chicken thigh

  Use the same weight; cook 10-12 minutes. Juicier and closer in richness.

• 
  Paneer

  Use the same weight; press, marinate and sear 2-3 minutes each side, then add to the sauce.

• 
  Mushroom

  Use the same weight; cook 5-7 minutes. Meaty texture but releases water.

• 
  Cauliflower

  Use 250 g per 200 g duck; roast first and simmer 15 minutes so it absorbs the spices.
