4 duck breasts
1 tablespoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)

Steps:

Roast for about 25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.

ROAST DUCK WITH ORANGE AND GINGER



Roast Duck with Orange and Ginger image

For a festive occasion, a burnished whole duck makes quite an impression - fancier than chicken and more elegant than turkey. Roasting the duck is not so difficult to do, but it can be smoky; to be on the safe side, dismantle your smoke alarm and turn on a good exhaust fan. (If your oven has a convection fan, don't use it; that way you avoid unnecessarily sputtering fat blowing about.). Seasoning the duck ahead and leaving it in the fridge overnight helps to deepen the flavor and keeps work to a minimum the following day. This one is seasoned with orange zest, along with fair amount of ginger and five-spice powder, which gives it a marvelous perfume; serve it with mashed butternut squash.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 5- to 6-pound Pekin (Long Island) duck
3 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon 5-spice powder, preferably homemade (see note)
1 large orange, zested and cut into 6 wedges
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon grated garlic
2 cups orange juice
1 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons Demerara sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 2-inch piece of ginger, thickly sliced
3 star anise

Steps:

  • Rinse duck and pat dry. Remove neck and giblets and save for another purpose. Remove excess fat from cavity and tail area and trim off a bit of flappy neck skin. Prick duck skin all over with tip of sharp paring knife, making sure not to penetrate meat.
  • Mix together salt and 5-spice powder. Season interior of duck with 1 tablespoon salt mixture; use remainder to generously season exterior (you may have a little left over). Combine orange zest with grated ginger and garlic, then smear mixture inside cavity. Place orange wedges in cavity. Tie legs together. Secure neck flap with wooden skewer or toothpicks. Place duck on rack in roasting pan breast-side-up and refrigerate overnight, uncovered.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Meanwhile, bring duck to room temperature and make the glaze: Bring orange juice, honey, sugar and soy sauce to a simmer. Add sliced ginger and star anise, then reduce mixture until you have a medium-thick syrup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Roast duck for 2 hours, carefully pouring off fat and turning duck over every 30 minutes. Paint with glaze and roast another 30 minutes (2 1/2 hours in all). Tent with foil if glaze begins to get too dark. Duck is done when temperature at thickest part of leg reads 165 degrees. Paint duck once more, keep warm and let rest 20 minutes. Use poultry shears to cut into quarters (remove backbone first) or carve in the traditional way, removing legs from carcass and slicing breast. Serve with mashed butternut squash if desired.

Marmalade glazed roast duck image

Try roast duck as an easy alternative to the usual turkey dinner on Christmas Day. A sticky Seville orange and marmalade glaze makes it even more festive

Provided by Raymond Blanc

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 oven-ready duck , about 2 kg
2 oranges , halved
60g Seville orange marmalade

Steps:

  • Expose and cut out the wishbone. This makes the duck easier to carve once cooked. A butcher can do this for you.
  • Heat oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9. Lightly score the skin on the duck all over, and make a deep cut from inside the body into each leg.
  • Season the duck well. Heat an ovenproof frying pan over a low heat. Place the duck on its side with the thigh touching the pan for 15 mins. Turn and cook on the other side for 15 mins more.
  • Turn the duck breast-side down, then transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 5 mins. Drain the fat from the pan, turn the duck onto its back and continue to cook for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut both oranges in half, then cut 4 wedges from half an orange. Heat a small frying pan over a medium heat, then cook the orange wedges in the dry pan for 1 min on each side to lightly caramelise.
  • Remove the orange wedges from the pan and set aside. Squeeze the juice from the remaining orange halves into the hot pan and reduce by half. Add the marmalade, take off the heat, add 1 tbsp water and stir together.
  • After 15 mins of roasting, brush the marmalade glaze over and continue to roast for a final 10 mins. Rest for 20 mins.
  • Carve by cutting the leg and thigh away, then separating the leg from the thigh. Carve slices of breast and serve with the orange wedges to squeeze over.

EASY ORANGE GLAZE DUCK



Easy Orange Glaze Duck image

My husband told me his grandmother made something similar to this, so I made up a recipe and it turned out delicious! Now it is a favorite at holiday meals and whenever we can find ducks. Makes enough for 1 or 2 ducks. If you want, marinate the duck the night before in the mixture. It makes it a little more tender.

  • Use a sharp knife to score the duck breast in a crisscross pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat.
  • Let the duck rest for at least 10 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • For a more intense orange flavor, use freshly squeezed orange juice in the glaze.
  • If you don't have a roasting rack, you can place the duck on a bed of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions.
  • To make a pan sauce, deglaze the roasting pan with a little bit of water or broth. Add any remaining glaze and simmer until thickened.
