Recipe: Roasted duck and mushroom stuffing

To prepare the day before :

1- The duck breasts:
Prepare the breasts by placing them flesh side up and cut off any excess fat. Score the breasts on the flesh side lengthwise without cutting all the way to the skin and leaving 1 cm uncut at the ends so the stuffing doesn't escape too much during cooking
Place them skin side down in an oven-safe dish.

2- The marinade:
- Mix the liquid honey, vinegar and soy sauce in a bowl, stirring enough so the honey is well dissolved in the marinade. Strip the fresh thyme leaves and add them to the marinade. Add freshly ground pepper.
- Pour one teaspoon of marinade into the slit on each breast and one on each side of the slit. Finish by pouring the rest over each breast.
Place the dish in the refrigerator. In the morning turn the breasts over flesh side up.

3- The stuffing:
- Roughly chop the mushrooms. Place them in a bowl and add 30 cl of port. Keep refrigerated.
