Sure, you can do cute versions that feature only perfectly medium-rare duck breasts, but that doesn't make nearly as beautiful a centerpiece. Plus, it kind of misses a key attribute of the original, which is meat that's been cooked until it's more or less. The recipe for this classic French dish is based on one in James Peterson's Glorious French Food. In this classic French preparation, a whole duck is broken down, cooked to golden brown, crisp-skinned perfection and served with a rich orange sauce. For the duck breasts: Season the duck breasts on both sides with salt and pepper and place skin-side down in a cast iron pan.
