Lightly season with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet until hot. Add olive oil and duck breasts, skin side down. Sauté for to 4 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other for very rare duck (or longer if you don't like it rare). Remove duck to a cutting board. Add spices to skillet with tomatoes and stock.

Spoon the sauce over the duck and serve, garnished with olives.
