Ingredients
  

  • 2 duck Magret
  • Oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper

For the cranberry sauce

  • 400 g Cranberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 250 ml White wine
  • 4 Tbsp Sugar
  • 2 Oranges
  • Pepper
  • Salt

Instructions
 

For the Cranberry Sauce

  • We start by cooking, in a small pot, the juice of the two oranges, the white wine, and the cranberries, over medium heat. Cook for about 15 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and mix well. Cook again for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • After this time, season with salt and pepper, and the sauce is ready. We can serve it like this, with the whole cranberries, or grind it until we get a homogeneous sauce. To your taste.
  • We begin by preheating the oven to 250ºC.
    Cut the skin of the magret with a sharp knife, making cuts every 2 or 3 cm in both directions (as if it were the grid of a notebook). Season with salt and pepper on both sides and paint the meat (not the skin) with oil.
  • Place the duck breast on the oven rack with the skin side up. Just below put the oven tray with an ovenproof dish, to collect all the juices that fall.
  • Once the oven is preheated, we are going to bake for 5 minutes; we turn it over and leave it for 5 more minutes. And finally, we turn it over again, so that the skin is again facing upwards, and we leave it for another 5 minutes. The last two minutes, with the grill on.
  • Serve the magret cut into fillets, and drizzle a little cranberry sauce over the meat on each plate. Now you have ready a great dish of duck breast with cranberry sauce.
