10 cl of banyuls
75 g of butter
1 tbsp. oil
A few sprigs of parsley
Salt, pepper

Instructions

1.Turn on the oven to 210°C. Salt and pepper the ducks. Chop the livers with the dried figs and add 50 g of butter. Add salt and pepper. Slip this stuffing inside each one and flange them.

5.Cut up the ducks and put them in a dish with the figs and the stuffing. Coat them with the sauce, sprinkle with parsley and serve.
