Description

These rustic open sandwiches with duck and beans are a true explosion of flavors! I often prepare them for a Sunday brunch or an appetizer with friends. The combination of melting duck breast and slightly crunchy pink beans is simply divine. The crushed hazelnuts bring an extra touch of indulgence. It's a simple dish to make, but it always impresses. Feel free to vary the aromatic herbs according to your tastes. A little fresh thyme or rosemary also goes very well with the duck. Quick preparation, authentic taste – a real treat!

About this recipe

These rustic open sandwiches with duck and beans are a little bit of rural France in a bite. They remind me of Sunday lunches at my grandmother's house, where fresh market produce was always in the spotlight. Of course, she didn't prepare them exactly like that, but the spirit is there: simple, authentic ingredients, and a lot of love. The country bread, with its thick crust and slightly tangy crumb, is the ideal base for this open sandwich. It brings a rustic texture and a taste that contrasts nicely with the richness of the duck. The pink beans, meanwhile, offer a touch of freshness and a slight sweet note. They should be cooked just right, still a little crunchy, to bring contrast to the mouth. The duck breast, of course, is the star of this recipe. Its thin and melting slices, lightly salted and peppered, go perfectly with the beans and hazelnuts. The crushed hazelnuts, finally, bring a touch of indulgence and extra crunch. It enhances the flavors of duck and beans, while providing an interesting texture. The fresh parsley, finely chopped, brings a note of herbaceous freshness that balances the whole. For preparation with the Thermomix®, it is important to respect the cooking times of the beans. 15 minutes at 100°C are generally sufficient, but this may vary depending on the variety of beans and their freshness. Do not hesitate to check the cooking and extend slightly if necessary. For the crushed hazelnuts, it is important not to mix the hazelnuts too much, otherwise you will get a powder. The ideal is to obtain small irregular pieces. For a vegetarian version, you can replace the duck breast with Paris mushrooms sautéed with garlic and parsley. For a vegan version, replace the duck breast with grilled eggplant slices and add a touch of sesame cream (tahini) for more indulgence. You can also vary the aromatic herbs: fresh thyme, rosemary or sage go very well with beans and mushrooms. These rustic open sandwiches are perfect for a Sunday brunch, an appetizer with friends or a quick lunch. You can accompany them with a crisp green salad, a seasonal vegetable soup or a glass of light red wine. The open sandwiches can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for a few hours. It is best to garnish them just before serving to prevent the bread from softening. The cooked beans can also be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
