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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Season the duck breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and Chinese five-spice powder.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a heavy oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Place the duck breasts skin-side down in the skillet and sear for about 6 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove duck from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
Step 8
To assemble the keto duck pancakes, lay out each romaine lettuce leaf as a wrap.
Step 9
Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of keto-friendly hoisin sauce on each lettuce leaf.
Step 10
Arrange several slices of duck, cucumber matchsticks, and green onions on top.
Step 11
Roll the lettuce leaf to enclose the filling, secure with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately.
