Instructions:

Cut the duck breasts crosswise on the skin side, season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a shallow pan and sear the breasts on both sides, place in the preheated oven and finish roasting at 200 °C for 12 minutes until pink. Pour off the oil from the frying pan. Dust the roasting residue with a little flour, deglaze with port wine, boil down, pour in veal jus as well as orange juice. Add honey, soy sauce and rosemary sprigs and simmer. Season with salt and pepper and thicken with butter. Fry the duck breast with the skin side in hot fat and let it rest briefly in a warm place so that the meat juice does not run out. Then cut into diagonal slices. Arrange the prepared Knofl almond spinach on warmed plates, drape the duck breast on top and pour the sauce around it.
