  • Fry the paste in butter for a few minutes while stirring constantly.
  • Simmer lentils and wine for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender.
  • Heat honey in a large frying pan until it becomes golden and starts bubbling.
  • Place duck breasts skin-side down in the pan and season with salt and pepper.
