Pressed duck is a French specialty in which the breast and legs are removed from a rare to medium rare roasted duck. The remainder of the bird in compressed in a duck press which extracts all the juices. The extracted juice is mixed with reduced red wine, butter, green peppercorns and flamed with cognac to produce a delicious sauce that is served over the sliced breast and crispy legs. Truffles are optional. In better restaurants the Canardier performs the extraction and final preparation at the diners table.
