golden brown (about 2 minutes). Turn pieces over and cook until brown
(about 1 minute). Remove and set aside on plate. Repeat with remaining 6
pieces and remove to same plate. Drain oil and add apple slices. Cook until
softened and light brown (about 1 minute). Add wine and chicken stock and
bring to a boil. Place duck pieces into the stock and add cold butter.
Simmer 10 minutes until all the duck is heated through. Sprinkle with
chives and serve with Sauteed Chinese Eggplant as accompaniment. This
recipe yields 4 main course servings.
