- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Score the skin of the duck breasts and pat them dry. Season them with salt and pepper. Over medium high heat, heat a large oven proof saute/fry pan till very warm. Sear the duck, skin side down till fat is rendered and the skin is golden brown. Pour off most of the rendered fat, reserving 3 Tbsp. for later. Transfer the pan to the oven and finish roasting till medium rare, about 5 min.
- In a saute/fry pan, heat the reserved duck fat. Add in the shallots, garlic, ginger, and pears. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 min. Add in the eau-de-vie, balsamic vinegar and stock and cook over high heat, about 3 min, till the mix is slightly thick and the pears are tender.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the thyme, walnuts and season with salt and pepper.
- Thinly slice each duck breast and serve with sauce. Garnish with thyme sprigs.
- Yield: 4 servings
