Roast Duck With Port-Garlic Sauce image

A delicious duck recipe from the Upperline Restaurant in New Orleans, courtesy of Bon Appetit. I recommend making the sauce a day ahead, as I found that it takes a little longer to reduce than what is stated.

The port and garlic sauce was the perfect complement to the duck. It was rich and flavorful, without being too heavy.
