Apricots provide a tangy complement to the meat in Skillet Duck. If fresh apricots aren't available, canned or dried work just as well. If using dried apricots, soak in water and lemon juice for 10 minutes while preparing the rest of the recipe. Drain before adding to skillet. Place olive oil in cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Brown duck breasts on both sides.
Add the rest of the ingredients to skillet and cover. Simmer over low heat for 45 minutes or until meat is tender. Or, if using a Dutch oven, roast in oven or over coals. Serves 6 to 8. This is one of a collection of recipes given to me by Cindy Martinez's mother, a cook with years of experience cooking all types of game.
