Directions

  1. Wash and dry the duck, then cut it into 8 to 10 pieces. Marinate the pieces in half of the wine, and refrigerate. Remove the seeds from the grapes, rinse them, and dry them.
  2. Heat the duck pieces on all sides in hot oil, then transfer them to a casserole dish.
  3. Season and cover, then cook over low heat, basting with red wine and, if needed, with broth.
  4. Towards the end of cooking, add the grapes: they should release their juice without breaking apart. ≈ 3 min
  5. Season with nutmeg, salt, pepper, and optionally, a little sugar. ≈ 2 min
  6. Serve with either mashed potatoes or rice. ≈ 2 min
