Dissolve
the cornflour in 3 tablespoons of water and add to the sauce.
Mix well as this will give the sauce a thicker consistency.
Blend the sauce in a food processor and pass through a fine
sieve. Put back on the heat and allow to simmer.
Cook the duck brochettes, under a grill or in a frying pan
and serve them garnish with the sauce. Garnish with chopped
sage leaves and fresh pomegranate seeds.

| The duck can be served underdone. If it
needs further cooking after grilling it finish it off
in the oven. If you pan fry it, you cal also add the sauce
to the pan and simmer until cooked to your taste. |
