1
Prepare the Duck
Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Smoke the Duck
In a smoker or stovetop smoking setup, place the cinnamon sticks and smoke the duck breasts over low heat for about 1 hour, or until cooked to your desired level of doneness.
3
Prepare the Red Cabbage
Thinly slice the red cabbage and toss it with olive oil, salt, and a splash of vinegar. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
4
Make the Orange Sauce
Juice the oranges and combine the juice with honey in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.
5
Plate the Dish
Slice the smoked duck breasts and arrange on a plate with the marinated red cabbage. Drizzle with the orange sauce and sprinkle with pink peppercorns before serving.
