Duck Breast With Leek and Cranberry image

French inspired Seared Duck Breast with Leeks, Cranberries and a wonderful Red Wine sauce. Fabulous served with wasabi mashed potatoes for a warm aromatic contrast. My version of a recipe from a duck supplier. Be sure to use a slightly more complex red wine such as Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon.

This recipe was a complete waste of time. The duck was overcooked and the sauce was tasteless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my duck turned out dry and tough. The sauce was also very bland. I won't be making this recipe again.
