Fantastic taste. I used wild duck and spinach for the salad. I added quinoa. A correction/clarification to the recipe can be added. Two tablespoons of red wine vinegar are in the vinaigrette. In Step 5 the pan is deglazed with 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar. Correction to recipe should be a total of 4 tablespoons of red wine vinegar.
