SEARED SPICED DUCK BREASTS WITH CRANBERRY-APPLE CHUTNEY RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Warm Cranberry And Apple Chutney: Heat the oil in a non-aluminum saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion; cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic; cook 1 minute. Add the apples, cranberries, sugar, vinegar, mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, ginger, salt, allspice and cloves. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the fruit is tender, about 10 minutes. (This can be kept 10 days refrigerated or frozen up to 1 month. To serve warm, gently reheat, adding water if the mixture is too thick. The chutney can also be served chilled or at room temperature.) Makes 3 cups. (This chutney yields more than you'll need for this meal, so serve the rest with pork, ham, lamb or other poultry. It also makes a tasty, low-fat sandwich spread) Combine the pepper flakes, cinnamon, coriander and salt in a small dish. Sprinkle half the mix on top of the duck breasts, dividing evenly. Gently pat the seasoning in place with your hands. Heat the oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, place the breasts, seasoned-side down, in the skillet. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning over the unseasoned side of the breasts. Cook, uncovered, turning only once, until the underside is browned, about 3 minutes total for rare, about 5 minutes total for medium. (The meat becomes tough when well done.) Transfer the duck to a warm platter. Cover with foil; let rest 5 minutes. To serve, cut each breast across the grain on a slight angle. Place each on the cooked spaghetti squash, fanning out the slices. Drizzle with any pan juices. Top the duck breasts with about 2 tablespoons of Warm Cranberry Apple Chutney. Serve hot, passing any remaining warm chutney separately. This recipe yields 4 servings.
