Magret de canard is southwestern France's duck breast preparation, pan-roasted on the fat side with the meat pink, sliced and served with potatoes confits, often with a fig or cepe sauce.
The modern magret was invented by Andre Daguin at Hotel de France in Auch in 1959, by treating a duck breast like a steak and serving it pink. Before that, duck was always confited or roasted whole. The technique spread quickly across Aquitaine and became a southwestern French staple. La Tupina, Le Bouchon Bordelais and Le Petit Gascon all serve it daily.
