  • Season the duck pieces with salt and pepper.
  • In an Express Pressure Cooker® over medium heat, melt the butter and oil. Add the onion and garlic. Sauté for about 4 minutes, until they start to soften.
  • Remove and set aside. Add the pieces to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, until browned. Flip and cook in the same way. Drain and discard the fat that was released.

  • Close the Express Pressure Cooker® and place the pressure regulator on it, put it on the stove over high heat for about 25 minutes or until a constant steam comes out, lower the heat to medium and cook for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the Express Pressure Cooker® from the heat, let it cool, remove the pressure regulator, open the Express Pressure Cooker®, and you're done!
  • Remove the thyme and the fat from the surface. Season with salt and pepper.
