Preparation
First cut the cauliflower in half, salt lightly, a pinch of ground black pepper and add some salted butter. Close the foil and bake at 230° for 25 minutes.
After cooking, recover the waste and prepare the cauliflower cream.
In a hot pan put the tangerines, side of the peel, to caramelize
lightly with brown sugar. As soon as they reach the
right caramel , blend with amber vermouth, when ready to set aside and
then complete the dish.
Blanch the duck breast in a pan with aromatic herbs, a drizzle of oil and
salted butter .
Cooking must be delicate, always pink in the center.
Blanch first on the skin side and then finish by napping * with salted butter on the meat side.
Leave to rest for a couple of minutes and regenerate in the oven with 3/4 minutes at 180 °.

with the scraps on top of the pumpkin seeds, then the caramelized tangerines and finally the
duck breast with aromatic herbs.
