      Title: Pomegranate Roasted Duck Breast
 Categories: Five, Poultry, Fruits, Chilies
      Yield: 4 Servings

      3 tb Pomegranate molasses or
           - concentrate *
  4 1/2 ts Oyster sauce
    1/2 ts Chipotle chile powder
      4    Duck breast halves; 6 oz ea
           Kosher salt & black pepper

  Duck is often served with fruity compotes and sauces. This
  recipe uses fruit in a basting sauce, which can also be
  served on the side. For lighter, fruity white wines, you
  can substitute chicken breast. Couscous and
  cashew-garnished green beans would be good accompaniments.

  Mix pomegranate molasses, oyster sauce and chile powder in
  a small bowl. Set aside.

  Trim the duck breasts of any excess skin, fat and silver
  skin. (If the small piece of meat called the "tender" is
  loose, pull it off and cook separately as a treat for the
  cook.) Score the skin diagonally at right angles without
  cutting into the flesh. Season both sides generously with
  kosher salt and pepper.

  Preheat oven to 350øF/175øC.

  Heat a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high. When
  skillet is hot (no oil is needed), place breasts skin side
  down into the hot pan then reduce heat to medium-low.
  Continue to cook until the skin is dark gold and fat has
  rendered, about 7-9 minutes for larger breasts; it will
  take less time for smaller breasts.

  Pour off excess fat then turn breasts over, baste with
  sauce and place skillet into the oven. Cook 3 minutes then
  baste again. Continue roasting until done to your liking,
  about 3 minutes more for medium-rare, which is about 130øF
  internal temperature when taken with a meat thermometer.

  Remove duck from skillet, baste once more before covering
  loosely with foil; let rest for about 10 minutes before
  slicing. You should have leftover sauce that can be
  drizzled over the cooked breasts or served on the side.

  Spoon off excess fat from the pan drippings, then add to
  the remaining sauce for even more flavor. If is a nice
  fond remains in the skillet, deglaze it as you reheat the
  sauce. If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer and reduce to
  desired consistency before serving.

  Note: Pomegranate molasses and concentrate are similar,
  though the Carlo brand of molasses is a touch sweeter than
  the Carlo pomegranate concentrate.
