Season with salt. Put a heavy frying pan on the hob over a medium heat. Add the duck breasts to the pan, skin side down. Allow to sear for 10 minutes or so on a medium heat until nicely brown and a lot of fat has been released. Turn the breasts over and cook for 1 minute. Remove the duck from the pan and tranfer to the pre-heated roasting tray. (You can keep the fat for roasting potatoes). Roast in the oven for 6-10 minutes, depending on the size of the breasts &#8211; it should still be pink. When cooked, remove from the pan and leave to rest for 5 minutes. <\/p>\n<p> While the duck is resting, finish the sauce. Strain the sauce into a jug and discard the berries and peppercorns. Return the sauce to the pan and return to the heat. Add the butter a cube at a time and whisk into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.<\/p>\n<p> To serve, slice each breast into 6 slices on the diagonal and serve on a bed of wilted spinach. Spoon over the sauce.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ingredients: 2 Duck Breasts 600ml Chicken Stock 6 Juniper berries 6 Peppercorns(pink, green and black) 10g cold unsalted butter, cubed 3-4 handfuls spinach, wilted ( to serve &#8211; optional) Method: Heat the oven to 200C.
