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
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.

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.
