(Raspberry-flavoured duck breasts - Our recipe)

Time: preparation: 15 minutes ........ cooking: 40 minutes 300 g (10 1/2 oz) duck breasts 300 g (10 1/2) fresh or frozen raspberries 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons dried chives 100 ml (4 fl oz - 1/2 C) Marsala Salt easy recipe

  Spoon measures are American spoons, that is standard cook's measuring spoons used in USA.
  The best plan is to regard 2 American teaspoons or tablespoons as 1 English teaspoon or tablespoon (eating spoons)

Purée raspberries in a blender or food processor and pass through a sieve. You have to put apart some fruits to garnish.
Remove skin from duck breasts because they're rich in fat. Put them in a saucepan together with oil and chives. Fry lightly on both sides and pour in Marsala; let it evaporate on a fierce flame. At this point lower the flame, add raspberries juice and 1 ladle warm water, season to taste with salt and keep on cooking, half-covered, until meat is tender. Add other water only if necessary. In the last minutes of cooking time, slice the meat in order to flavor better and taste the cooking juice. If it's sour, no problem! Add 2 tablespoons of sugar.
The dish is ready.
