SOUR ORANGE GLAZED DUCK WITH HERB CREPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• A day before roasting, remove the giblets and neck from the cavity of the bird and discard. Trim the neck flap and excess fat from around the cavity. Rinse and dry the bird well. Set the duck on a rack on a baking sheet, and refrigerate, uncovered, for 24 hours.
• Pierce the duck skin all over (including the back), every 1/2-inch, with a skewer or small knife. Season the cavity with salt and pepper and stuff with strips or orange, lemon and lime zest and the onion. Set the duck on the rack in a roasting pan, and pour a cup of water in the pan. Roast the bird for 3 hours, removing the duck from the oven every hour to prick the skin again. Remove the duck from the oven and carefully, pour off the excess fat from the pan. (If desired reserve this fat for frying potatoes or wilting greens). Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F. Return the duck to the oven and roast until crisp and brown, about 30 minutes more. During the last 20 minutes of roasting, brush the duck with 1 cup of the orange glaze.
• Let the duck rest for 20 minutes before carving. Brush the ducks skin with glaze 4 to 5 times during the resting period. Carve the duck and transfer pieces to warm serving platter. Serve the remaining glaze at the table to drizzle over the duck, if desired.
• Brush the surface of the crepe with some sour orange glaze. Place a few slices of duck in the center of the crepe and top with a few sprigs of watercress. Fold over and roll up and serve.
• Place the juice, garlic, fennel and peppercorns in a medium saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until reduced to 2 cups. Strain the sauce into a bowl and let cool to room temperature. Once cooled, remove 3/4 cup and place in bowl to serve with the crepes.
• In blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Heat a small non-stick pan over high heat. Add butter to coat. Pour 1-ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl the spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all the batter is gone.

ORANGE GLAZED DUCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
• Pat duck breasts dry. Lightly prick duck skin surface several times with a fork to help fat cook out. In a small bowl, combine salt with the other seasonings and season the duck. Insert a pop-up thermometer at an angle, in the thickest part of the breast. Place duck in preheated oven and turn down heat to 375 degrees F. Roast for about 25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, stir together glaze ingredients. About 10 to 15 minutes before duck is done, pour glaze over duck and finish cooking.
• Let duck rest, tented with foil for 5 to 10 minutes before carving.

BALSAMIC, ORANGE, HONEY, MAPLE SYRUP GLAZED DUCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 190c.
• Mix all the ingredients (except the duck!) together in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Reserve 1/4 of the glaze.
• Sit the duck on a rack over a baking dish, baste and place in oven.
• Baste the duck every 10 minutes throughout the cooking process with remaining 3/4 of glaze.
• A 2kg duck should take about 1 hour 15 minutes to cook, but give one of his legs a pull, and if it moves freely and any juices run clear, your duck will be cooked.
• Place on a serving platter brush with reserved glaze and serve.
• Pass any remaining reserved glaze to be spooned over carved duck.

ORANGE-GLAZED DUCK WITH DUCK-FAT FONDANT POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Season the duck and lay it skin-side down on one side of the pan, then add the potatoes on the other side of the pan. Cook for 10 mins, but lower the heat if the duck skin is browning too quickly - it should be golden along with one side of the potatoes. Remove the duck to a plate, then turn the potatoes. Add the cabbage wedges to the pan, then put in the oven for 10 mins or until the cabbage is slightly wilting.
• Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Turn the cabbage, then return the duck to the pan, skin-side up. Put back in the oven for 8 mins for pink meat, or 10 mins if you prefer the duck well done.
• Remove the cabbage and potatoes from the pan and keep warm in a low oven. Put the pan with the duck back on the hob over a high heat. Drizzle with the honey and pour over the citrus juice. Bubble the liquid down to a sticky glaze for about 2-3 mins so it coats the duck, then spoon the glaze over. Remove the duck to a plate. Pour the stock into the pan, bring back to the boil and leave to bubble for 3-4 mins to create a syrupy sauce, adding any juices from the plate. Carve the duck into thick slices and arrange on a warm plate with the potatoes and cabbage. Pour over the sauce.

CRANBERRY ORANGE DUCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Sprinkle Chinese five-spice powder inside the duck cavity. Add chopped onion and cubed orange.
• Combine cranberries, orange liqueur, honey, white sugar, and soy sauce in a saucepan. Cook and stir until glaze reaches a jam-like consistency, 7 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, about 3 minutes.
• Place duck on a roasting rack inside a roasting pan; baste with the glaze.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 2 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

MARMALADE GLAZED ROAST DUCK

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.

BROILED DUCK WITH ORANGE-GLAZED TURNIPS

Steps:

• Cut the duck in half lengthwise with poultry shears, working up from the tail and down the center (or have it cut in half by the butcher). Remove as much fat as possible from the carcass. Prick the skin lightly all over with a fork so the fat will pour off as the duck cooks.
• Pare the orange thinly and set the peel aside. Squeeze the juice from the orange and pour it over the duck on the bone side. Sprinkle that side with rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Heat broiler to medium-hot. Place the duck halves on a broiler rack, bone side up, and broil four inches from the heat for 15 minutes. Drain off the fat and turn the duck pieces so the skin side is up. Season with salt and pepper. Broil for 20 minutes or until the skin is browned and crisp. Be careful not to burn the skin. If it cooks too fast, move the broiling rack to a lower rung. The duck is done when the juices are pink.
• While the duck is cooking, bring the turnip pieces to a boil in enough water to cover. After five minutes add the orange peel. When the turnips are almost tender - after about 10 minutes - drain off all but half a cup of water. Add the sugar and butter and cook until glazed, turning occasionally with a wooden spoon. Meanwhile, cut the orange peel into julienne strips and add to the turnips. Correct seasoning.
• Serve the turnips in a heated dish and the duck halves on heated individual plates. Garnish with parsley and serve.

ROAST DUCK WITH ORANGE AND GINGER

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.
