We used pinot noir for the red wine in the sauce. Substitute beef broth for an alcohol-free version. Use sweetened dried cranberries instead of cherries, if desired. Total time: 25 minutes. Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried sweet cherries |
1/2 cup dry red wine |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary |
2 tablespoons raspberry vinegar |
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger |
1/8 teaspoon sugar |
2 teaspoons olive oil |
4 (6-ounce) boneless duck breast halves, skinned |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
rosemary sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine first 6 ingredients, and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle both sides of duck with salt and pepper. Add duck to pan, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until a thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 170°. Place duck on a cutting board; cover with foil.
3. Add cherry mixture to pan; cook over medium-low heat 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Cut duck into thin slices; spoon cherry mixture over duck. Garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
