Duck with pear

Duck with fruit and wine sauce is a real classic. The side dish is not really needed here. But if desired, you can replenish the dish with pyramids of mashed potatoes or boiled vegetables. For a beautiful serving, it is better to take pears that are not very large, so that you do not have to cut them in half.
