Duck Breasts With Orange Honey And Tea Sauce Recipes

DUCK WITH HONEY, SOY, AND GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Use a sharp knife to score across the duck breasts 4 times through the skin and fat but just barely to the meat. Rub the skin with salt, cayenne, and black pepper.
• Preheat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Lay the breasts in the skillet skin-side down and fry until the skin is brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Use a spoon to carefully discard any excess fat from the bottom of the skillet. Turn the breasts over and cook for 1 minute.
• Place the skillet into the preheated oven and roast until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breasts reach 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for well done, or the breasts reach desired doneness.
• Remove the duck breasts from the skillet and cover with foil. Set aside to rest. Pour off excess fat from the skillet. Place the stock, honey, soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, tomato sauce, chili powder, and lime juice in the skillet. Whisk the sauce over high heat, bring to a boil and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Slice the duck breasts thinly, arrange on serving plates, and pour the sauce over the top.

SEARED DUCK BREASTS WITH ORANGE AND RED WINE VINEGAR SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200C, fan 180°C Score a crisscross pattern into the duck fat using a sharp knife. Rub the soy sauce into the flesh side of the duck and season.
• Heat a heavy frying pan and place the duck, skin-side down. Keep the heat on medium-low and let the fat slowly melt away for 8 minutes or until the skin is thin and crispy. Turn over to brown the other side of the meat for a minute and then remove from the pan. Arrange in a baking dish and cook in the oven for 10 minutes, or 12 minutes if your duck breasts are on the large side. Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and rest for 10 minutes.
• While the duck is resting, discard most of the duck fat from the frying pan, leaving just enough to coat the bottom. Add the shallots to the pan and season. Fry for 2 minutes, then add the vinegar and sugar and bring to the boil. After a minute, once syrupy, add the oranges to warm through. Remove from the heat. Serve the duck with the orange sauce and some chopped parsley, if you like.
