For the sauce, place the duck fat in a saucepan and fry over medium to high heat. In the meantime, peel the garlic and crush it with the flat side of the chef’s knife and quarter the shallots. After about 5 minutes, set the oven to medium heat and add the shallots, garlic and thyme.

Duck grilling

Now, preheat the Otto Grill for 2-3 minutes at full temperature. Once the grill is heated, lower the flame, place the duck breasts skin side down on the grill and roast on Meat-O-Meter level 5 for about 1-2 minutes. Rotate the meat and grill the skin side for 2-3 minutes with the same heat and height settings. Finally, depending on the desired degree of doneness, briefly grill the skin at full heat.
