duck breast

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than duck.

cream cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

fig jam

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: apricot jam

Apricot jam is often less expensive and still sweet.

balsamic reduction

🥗Healthier: balsamic vinegar

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

Soy sauce provides a similar umami flavor at a lower cost.

Wrap duck breast with Thai seven spice all around the sides.

Place the wrapped duck in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for three hours.

Check the duck after two and a half hours; it should be nice and brown and getting crispy.

Ensure the duck is cooked by checking if it comes apart easily.

While the duck rests, prepare a mixture with fresh coriander, mint leaves, and a small amount of chili.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the mixture and add soy sauce and olive oil; stir well and let it sit.

Once the duck is ready, shred it into pieces, mixing it with the juices and fat from the duck for flavor.

Serve the duck mixture in small cups with fresh crispy iceberg salad.
