Method

Remove the duck breasts from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before cooking, so they are not too cold to cook perfectly in the middle.
Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, then add the tomatoes, French bread, almonds, cinnamon, cloves and dried red chillies. Give everything a good stir, so it all gets coated in the oil. Fry
