Duck
Port Wine Cream Sauce
Method
Duck Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Duck
Remove the giblets from the duck cavity and pat the duck dry with paper towels. Season the duck inside and out with salt and black pepper.
Add Aromatics
Stuff the duck cavity with garlic cloves and fresh thyme to enhance flavor.
Rub with Olive Oil
Rub the outside of the duck with olive oil to help achieve a golden-brown skin.
Roast the Duck
Place the duck breast-side up on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Roast for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Port Wine Cream Sauce Preparation
Add Port Wine
Pour the port wine into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing it to reduce by half.
Stir in Cream
Slowly stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.
Season the Sauce
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
