Salt and Pepper to taste

Orange Red Wine Sauce

Score the fatty side of the duck breast in an X pattern, and coat both sides with rosemary garlic mixture, salt and pepper. Heat an oven proof frying pan on medium heat. When the pan is hot, add duck breasts fat side down and cook for 5 minutes or until browned. Turn the breasts and continue to cook for approx 5 minutes. Remove the duck from heat and place in preheated oven for 5 more minutes. Remove the duck to a cutting board and let them rest. Return the frying the stove top over medium/ high heat and deglaze the pan with the red wine and orange juice. Cook until the sauce is reduced by about half, serve over sliced duck breast.
