Pan-frying is the easiest way to cook duck breast - it's quite fast, and you'll get that ideal pink color in the middle without much effort. Still, you have to keep in mind that when cooking duck breast it's important to cut the skin with a knife so that the fat can melt out. The duck breast goes well with this red wine sauce made with cloves, star anise, and honey!

How to Make Duck Breast With Red Wine Sauce
