Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium duck breasts
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 blood oranges
1 shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Frisée (for serving)

Steps:

  • Score skin of duck breasts; season with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in a cold medium skillet; cook over low heat until fat is rendered and skin is dark golden, 12-15 minutes. Turn duck, increase heat to medium, and cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Meanwhile, cut peel and white pith from oranges. Cut along sides of membranes to release segments into a medium bowl.
  • Pour off all but 2 Tbsp. fat from skillet. Add shallot, vinegar, and half of orange segments. Season with salt and simmer until thick, about 4 minutes. Thinly slice duck and serve over frisée with pan sauce and remaining segments.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. The duck breasts were cooked perfectly and the blood orange sauce was amazing. I think I would try it again with a different sauce next time.
