What each ingredient does
- Duck
- Provides the main protein and rich flavour that the dish is built around.
- Port wine
- Adds sweetness and fruity depth to the gravy.
The step that matters
Keep the gravy from boiling after adding the port. Boiling a wine-based sauce drives off delicate aromas and can make the flavour harsh or overly concentrated. Gentle heat keeps the port's fruitiness and lets the duck warm through without toughening the meat.
