DUCK BREAST A L'ORANGE



Duck Breast a l'Orange image

Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Zest of 1 orange (2 teaspoons), 1 cup fresh orange juice, plus 1 orange, supremed
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 shallot, minced (3 tablespoons)
2 boneless duck breast halves (8-10 ounces each)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place sugar in a medium saucepan and set over medium-high heat. As sugar begins to melt, use a fork to gently stir sugar from edges to center of pan. Continue stirring in this manner until sugar is a deep amber color.
  • Remove caramel from heat and carefully stir in vinegar, orange zest and juice, chicken broth, and shallot. Return to medium-high heat and boil, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 2/3 cup, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Score fat of duck breasts with the tip of a knife in a crosshatch pattern to form 1-inch diamonds. Season both sides of breasts with salt and pepper. Place breasts, fat side down, in a medium skillet and place over medium-high heat. Cook undisturbed until skin is crisp and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Flip and continue cooking to desired doneness, about 8 minutes more for medium-rare (125 degrees). Allow meat to rest 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Add orange supremes to sauce and pour over sliced duck just before serving.

GRILLED DUCK BREAST WITH MISO, GINGER AND ORANGE



Grilled Duck Breast With Miso, Ginger and Orange image

Miso contributes a sweet, nutty flavor to this tasty marinade for duck, punched up with ginger and orange zest. Substitute duck legs if you wish (they'll take a bit longer to cook), or use large chicken breasts if duck isn't available. Here the duck breast is thinly sliced for a summery main-course salad, but keep the flavorful technique in mind for use throughout the year.

Categories     dinner, poultry, salads and dressings, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 large duck breasts (about 2 pounds)
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons red miso
2 tablespoons light soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon sake or mirin
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch of cayenne
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
4 tablespoons freshly squeezed orange juice
6 ounces small green beans, topped and tailed
Lettuce leaves, for serving
1 large mango, peeled and sliced
Watercress sprigs, for garnish (optional)
3 tablespoons chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Trim duck breasts of extraneous fat (or ask your butcher to trim them) and score the skin. Season very lightly with salt and generously with coarsely ground pepper.
  • Make the marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together miso, soy sauce, sake, orange zest, ginger, garlic, cayenne and sesame oil. Remove 1/4 cup of the marinade and combine it with 2 tablespoons orange juice to make a dressing; set aside. Add remaining 2 tablespoons orange juice to the marinade in the mixing bowl.
  • Lay duck in a shallow pan and pour the marinade over, making sure meat is well coated. Let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour. If you wish, cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before proceeding.
  • Prepare a bed of medium-hot coals in a grill, or heat a stovetop grill or cast-iron pan to medium hot. Cook duck breasts skin-side down for 8 to 10 minutes, until fat is rendered and skin is nicely colored. (See note.) Turn and cook on the other side for 3 or 4 minutes, until internal temperature registers 125 degrees. Remove from heat and let rest at least 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook green beans for 1 to 2 minutes, until firm-tender. Drain green beans and rinse with cool water; blot dry.
  • Slice duck crosswise about 1/8-inch thick. Line a platter with lettuce leaves. Place several slices of duck on each leaf, along with a couple of mango slices. Arrange green beans over the top and garnish with watercress, if using. Drizzle reserved dressing over everything, sprinkle with scallions and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose High-Quality Duck Breasts: Opt for fresh, plump duck breasts with evenly distributed fat for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Score the Duck Skin: Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the duck breasts in a crisscross pattern, allowing the fat to render more easily and the marinade to penetrate deeper.
  • Marinate the Duck Breasts: Create a flavorful marinade using a combination of red wine, orange juice, herbs, and spices. Marinating the duck breasts for at least 4 hours or overnight enhances their taste and tenderness.
  • Cook the Duck Breasts Properly: Grill the duck breasts over medium-high heat, skin side down, until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the breasts and continue grilling until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
  • Make the Red Wine and Orange Sauce: Simmer the remaining marinade with red wine, orange juice, and chicken broth until reduced and flavorful. Add a touch of butter or cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce if desired.
  • Serve the Duck Breasts: Let the duck breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing them. Serve the sliced duck breasts drizzled with the red wine and orange sauce, accompanied by roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Grilled Duck Breasts with Red Wine and Orange Sauce offer a delightful combination of flavors and textures, making them a perfect choice for a special occasion or a memorable dinner. By following these tips and the detailed recipe steps, you can create this impressive dish at home.
