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.

This recipe was just okay. The duck was a little dry and the sauce was a bit too tart. I wouldn't make this again.

I found this recipe to be very time-consuming. The duck took forever to cook and the sauce was a lot of work. It wasn't worth the effort.

I'm not a big fan of duck, but this recipe changed my mind. The duck was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was out of this world. I'll definitely be making this again.
