3 tablespoons reserved marinade (see note)
3 tablespoons concentrated duck or veal stock (glace de viande)
½ cup dry red wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat fat in skillet. Add shallots and ginger and cook over medium heat until they have softened. Stir in marinade; cook a few seconds longer.
- Step 2
Stir in stock and wine, cook, stirring, until mixture is reduced to about half a cup and has thickened slightly.
- Step 3
Season to taste with salt and pepper and spoon over the duck breasts to moisten them.
A mixture of half a tablespoon of Chinese five-spice powder, a tablespoon of honey, one-and-a-half tablespoons of light soy sauce and half a tablespoon of lemon juice can be used in place of the reserved marinade.

I used Hoisin sauce in place of marinade. Yummy!
