My version of Duck with prunes

I love duck meat. It's so nice and dark and rich but mild and tender when cooked right. You can't go wrong these days with duck breasts. One big one is enough for 2 people. Score the fat side slightly and brown  in a combination of oil and butter.
I'm a one-pan-man...take the duck out and add some onions and prunes. 
 Brown these babies....add some dark beer - I've got Belgian beer close by but a Mad-Hatter would do just fine. 
 Put it in the oven for about 30 minutes - not too long or the duck with dry out. Pull the breast out and let it rest while your puree what's left in the pan to make a delicious sauce. Toss a salad and make some home-made french fries. Wine or beer goes fine.
