This is a great recipe with a beautiful presentation. I have not considered buying Duck Proscuitto but will definitely ask around because duck is one of our favorite meals. The combination of pear, endive, and duck sounds absolutely delicious.
Very nice photo which is important to know how to serve this dish in the best possible manner. Thank you for the great post!
