Preparation

45 mins

Remove excess fat from the duck breast and score the skin with a knife. (It is important to leave some fat as this is what will cook the duck). Salt both sides of the breasts and add cracked pepper only on the skin side. Sear in a pan on both sides slowly and remove the breasts and drain the fat. Add the port, sugar, cinnamon, and anise and simmer. Slice the breasts thinly.
