Braised Duck with Mustard

A rich and savory dish, Braised Duck with Mustard combines tender duck meat slow-cooked in a tangy mustard-based sauce. The duck is seared to perfection before being braised with herbs, onions, and a hint of mead or wine, creating a deeply flavorful and aromatic meal. Often served with roasted root vegetables or crusty bread, this dish is a favorite among the nobility and commonfolk alike, valued for its hearty and indulgent qualities.
The duck is rich and succulent, its natural fattiness balanced by the sharp, tangy kick of mustard. The braising liquid, enhanced with mead or wine, adds a subtle sweetness and depth of flavor, while the herbs provide an earthy, aromatic undertone. The caramelized onions contribute a touch of sweetness, rounding out the dish with warmth and complexity.

Originally a rustic meal for farmers, it gained popularity among the nobility for its luxurious texture and complex flavors.
