Duck, Olive, and Fig Skewers
Ingredients
- For the marinade
Directions
Whisk the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl. Place the duck breasts in a sealable plastic bag or a suitable container. Pour the marinade over, making sure all surfaces are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 3 to 24 hours.
Combine the vinegar, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, and mix well. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking as you go. Continue whisking until well emulsified. Reserve until needed.
Thread the marinated duck onto six 6-inch skewers, alternating 3 duck pieces with the olives and/or figs (you can use 2 olives, 2 figs, or 1 of each). Using a cast iron grill pan or grill, grill over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare meat. Drizzle 2 to 3 teaspoons of the vinaigrette over each skewer before serving.
Garnish with a lemon wedge and serve.

Cooked these for an appetizer party on New Years Eve – quick, delish and a hit! Used white balsamic vinegar as that to hand in my cupboard and used blood oranges as the fruit.
Sounds great, Sam. So glad you liked it.
