Chocolate Brushed Duck, Chipotle Goat Cheese Couscous

Ok.  This is the equivalent of me standing in front of a subway stop in NYC, decked out in a suit, with five bored looking staffers around me handing out pamphlets that say  "Vote for Chocolate." 

I am shaking hands with a grandmotherly type, nodding and smiling while she winces in doubt about whether a chocolate tasting event would be as a good as I think it will be. After that positive encounter, we concluded that the AM New York free newspaper being handed out is more popular than we are, so we leave.

Yes, good folks of the internet, the race is getting down to the wire.  The polls are about to close. 

And this is another blatant attempt to woo you into voting chocolate for the next foodie event.

But anyway, I have been practicing with chocolate and this is another fruit of my labor.  Here, I seared a duck breast until crispy. I then melted some dark, semi sweet Vahlrona chocolate and lightly brushed the duck with the chocolate before finish in the oven.  The chocolate is an accent to the gamy, rich flavor of the duck and the smoky, creamy goat cheese couscous.
