Wash the currants and strip off the stalks with a fork.

Score the duck skin in a diamond pattern, then season with salt and pepper. Heat the clarified butter in a frying pan and fry the duck breasts, skin side down, over a medium heat for about 8 minutes.
3.
Then turn and fry for a further 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, wrap in aluminium foil and leave to rest for 10 minutes.
