Magret de canard is the southwestern French duck breast, traditionally grilled with the skin scored, served pink with potato sarladaise and a red-wine redu.
The magret was popularised by Andre Daguin in the 1960s at his Hotel de France in Auch, when he started cooking the fattened-duck breast like a steak rather than rendering it into confit. The technique transformed how the southwest cooked duck. Magret du Sud-Ouest received IGP status in 2000 to defend the regional product.
