- 29.58 ml Emeril's Original Essence

directions
- Place duck breasts in a glass dish with onion, carrot and thyme, "Essence", and garlic. Pour in the wine, mix, cover and marinate overnight in the fridge.
- Next day, remove meat from marinade, and drain them, preserving the marinade.
- Melt the pork fat and 2 tbsp butterover high heat and saute the breasts for five minutes each side.
- Remove and cover the breasts in a 250 degree oven, to keep them warm while you make the sauce.
- Pour off all the fat from the pan, and deglaze with Armagnac. Pour in the unstrained marinade and boil until reduced to one half its original volume.
- Strain the liquid, and bring to a boil a second time, whisking constantly and adding the butter chunks, a few at a time.
- As soon as the butter is incorporated to the sauce, pour over the breasts and serve immediately.
