Ingredients

1 pound boneless duck breast, skin removed

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 small shallot, finely chopped

1 cup pomegranate juice

1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (see Tips for Two)

1 teaspoon cornstarch

2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Sprinkle duck with salt. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the duck and cook until browned on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Transfer the duck to a small baking dish and roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 150°F, 8 to 12 minutes for medium, depending on the size of the breast.

Transfer to a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes.

While the duck is roasting, return the pan to medium-high heat.

Add shallot and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Add pomegranate juice and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to a simmer; cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir broth and cornstarch in a small bowl until the cornstarch dissolves.

Add to the pan.

Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring, until the sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.

When the duck has finished resting, pour any accumulated juices into the sauce and stir to combine.

Thinly slice the duck; serve topped with the pomegranate sauce. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
