Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 magret duck breast halves (12 to 16 ounces)
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Brandied Cherry Sauce
Rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Score duck breast halves on the skin side, cutting about 1/8 inch into the skin, in a cross-hatch pattern.
  • Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat. Season duck breast evenly on both sides with salt and pepper. Place breasts, skin-side down, in skillet. Cook until skin is crispy and most of the fat has rendered out, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour off fat from pan as necessary. Turn breasts, and transfer skillet to oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let breasts rest about 3 minutes, before slicing each into 12 slices.
  • To serve, place six slices of duck on each of 4 plates. Serve with brandied cherry sauce and garnish with rosemary sprigs. Serve immediately.
