SEARED DUCK BREASTS WITH CHERRY-PORT SAUCE
Steps:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the broth until steam begins to rise from the surface, about 3 minutes. Add the dried cherries and remove from the heat. Season the duck breast halves with salt and pepper. Using a sharp knife, score the skin by making a diamond pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Heat a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Place 2 duck breast halves, skin side down, in the pan and cook until the skin is very crisp and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn the duck over and cook until the meat is just springy when pressed, 3 to 5 minutes more for rare to medium-rare, or until done to your liking. Transfer the duck to a cutting board and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Pour off the excess fat from the pan, reserving the fat for another use. Repeat to cook the remaining duck breast halves. Pour off all but 1 Tbs. of the fat from the pan. Set the pan over medium heat, add the shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the port, bring to a boil and cook until it is almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and cherries and the demi-glace, and cook until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter and whisk until completely incorporated. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Using a sharp carving knife, cut the duck across the grain into thin slices and arrange on a warmed platter. Pour the sauce over the meat and serve immediately
