Step 1

Trim the duck breasts and make cross-cuts in the skin.

Step 2

Mix all other ingredients in a bowl. Add the breasts and marinate overnight.

Step 3

After 8 – 12 hours in the fridge, remove breasts from the marinade. Reserve the marinade.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 180° C (350° F).

Step 5

Place duck breasts skin side down in a skillet. Turn heat on low to allow the fat to melt and the skin to crisp, 8 – 10 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, reduce the marinade by half in a saucepan.

Step 7

Turn the breasts flesh side down for 2 minutes, then finish cooking them in the oven for about 5 minutes. During cooking, glaze with the marinade. Reduce the marinade by another one-third. If you find the reduction too salty, add a little water.

Step 8

After removing from oven, let the breasts rest for 5 minutes, then slice finely.

Step 9

Serve with a spoonful of marinade.
