- 2 duck Magret

- Pepper
For the cranberry sauce
- 400 g Cranberries (fresh or frozen)
- 250 ml White wine
- 4 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 Oranges
- Pepper
- Salt
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.
