DUCK MAGRET GRILLED

1 pair magret
1 c white wine
1/4 c soy
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
10 large fresh basil leaves
Coarsely ground black pepper

Mix marinade ingredients and marinate duck breasts overnight, turning 2 or 3 times.

Cook magret directly on the grill over high heat, skin side up, until meat is slightly brown - about 10 minutes. Turn over, cover and continue cooking over high heat, skin side down - about 20 minutes. Baste often with marinade. Remove cover and allow flame to brown and crisp skin - about 5 minutes. Do not overcook - the magret should be pink in the center. Allow the magret to rest 10 minutes, and then thinly slice on the bias with a very sharp knife.

Note: Magret is duck breast from a duck that has produced foie gras.
