Red Cooked Duck With Tangerine Peel Recipes

RED CHILE "PEKING" DUCK

Steps:

• Marinade: About 8 hours or 1 day before serving, prick the skin of the duck all over with a fork. In a large pot over high heat, bring 8 quarts of water to a rapid boil and blanch the ducks for 5 minutes. Remove the ducks from the water and set aside. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Brush on duck and let marinate at least 4 hours or overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Roast the ducks, breast side up, for 20 minutes, reduce the heat to 350 and continue cooking for another 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let rest at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
• Pineapple-Red Onion Relish: Combine all in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Assemble: Duck Flour tortillas, warmed Pineapple-Red Onion Relish Green onions
• Carve the breast from each duck and slice very thin on the bias, allowing half a breast per person. Take a torilla, spread a little relish on it and place the sliced duck over that, top with a green onion, roll and eat.

RED-COOKED DUCK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cut away and discard the peripheral fat and skin from the duck. That is to say, the fat from the cavity, the excess skin around the neck and cavity opening and so on.
• Brush the duck all over with one tablespoon of the dark soy sauce. Place on a rack, breast side up, and roast for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine in a kettle the remaining dark soy sauce, the light soy sauce, cold water, shaoxing or dry Sherry, rock sugar, ginger, scallions, star anise and tangerine or orange peel. Set aside.
• Remove the duck from the roasting pan and add it, breast side down, to the sauce. Bring the sauce to the boil, cover, lower the heat and simmer 30 minutes.
• Turn the duck in the sauce. Cover and return to the boil. Let simmer 30 minutes. The duck may be eaten at this point, hot or cold. If you are using it to make the many-flavor duck salad, see the recipe.

ROAST DUCK LEGS WITH RED WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spread the rosemary sprigs and garlic cloves into a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place the duck legs on top of the rosemary, and sprinkle with salt and five-spice powder. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Meanwhile, bring the wine to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the currant jelly until dissolved. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer 5 minutes; set aside.
• After the duck has cooked 1 hour, pour off and discard the fat that has accumulated in the baking dish. Pour the wine sauce over the duck legs, and bake 15 minutes more until the duck is very tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
