Procedimento:
[1] - Prepare the polenta: put a pot of water to boil and add salt. Once the water starts boiling, slowly add the maize flour and mix well. With a wooden spoon,
always stir in the same direction while the water is boiling. Cook for 8 minutes.
[2] - Butter a plum cake pan and add the polenta. Level the surface and let it set in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours.

[4] - Remove the skin from the duck breast. Brush the butter mix over the meat.
[5] - Let it sit in the fridge for 60 minutes. Then, bring back to room temperature and heat a lightly oiled frying pan.
[6] - Add the duck breast and heat over a high flame until brown on both sides. Steam with the orange juice and the liqueur. Add salt and reduce the cooking juice.
Cook everything for totally 6 minutes, then cut the duck breast into thin slices.
[7] - Polenta chips: take out the polenta, cut into slices and then into triangles. Put the triangles on a baking plate with oven paper, then brush with olive oil and
pepper. Put into the oven at 200° for 8-12 minutes (until the triangles are crunchy). Take out of the oven and sprinkle with salt.
[8] - Arrange the polenta chips on a plate and lay a slice of duck breast.
[9] - Garnish with small triangles of orange slices.
