Magret (duck breast) is a piece of mostly fatless meat (hence the origin of the french word magret, from “maigre” meaning fatless). It comes from the ducks that have been fed to produce foie gras. Magret de canard is very popular with gourmets, and is used in many southern French recipes accompanied with apples, green pepper sauce, orange sauce, with mushrooms, just to name a few.
