Christmas Wild Duck Recipe

[Kevin]

Ingredients
1 duck breast
1/2 tbsp rosemary
1-3 tbsp of olive oil
1 carrot, diced
1 onion, diced
1 stick celery, diced
6 oz red wine
6 oz chicken stock
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste

Directions

--Fill oven-proof frying pan or cast-iron skillet with shallow dose of olive oil (probably around 1-3 tbsp depending on your pan size.) Heat to medium.
--While pan is heating, season duck breast with salt, pepper and rosemary.
--Place duck into heated oil and lightly brown all sides.
--Add the diced onions, carrots and celery to the pan.
--Place pan into oven for anywhere from 10-25 minutes. This will depend on the size of the breast and how much you   browned it in the previous step.
--Spoon excess fat from the pan (there may not be much), leaving the chopped vegetables in the pan, and add the red wine. Boil until reduced by two thirds.
--Add the stock and reduce again by two thirds. Taste and check the seasoning, then strain into serving jug.
--Carve the breast and use extra juice to cover.

Recipe is great served with rice and potatoes!
