Grilled Duck Breasts and Endives with Rosemary-Juniper Oil

In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup olive oil with the rosemary and juniper berries. Simmer over low heat for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover and let stand for at least 20 minutes.

Light a grill. Brush the endives with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over a low fire, turning, for about 20 minutes, or until the endives are almost tender. Transfer the endives to a platter and cover loosely with foil.

Season the duck breasts with salt and pepper and grill, skin side down, over a moderately hot fire for 4 minutes. Turn the duck breasts and grill for 3 minutes longer for medium rare. Transfer the duck to a carving board to rest for about 5 minutes. Slice the duck breasts crosswise 1/2 inch thick and arrange the slices on a large warmed platter. Return the endives to the grill briefly to reheat, then add to the platter. Drizzle the duck with the rosemary-juniper oil and serve.
