Sauté the Duck Livers
In a skillet over medium heat, melt 50 grams of butter. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until softened. Add the duck livers and sauté until they are browned on the outside but still slightly pink inside, about 5-7 minutes. Pour in the port wine and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.
