Crisp-Tender Roast Duck with Cherry-Rosemary Sauce image

Provided by Ted Allen

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 5-pound Pekin (aka Long Island) duck
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 shallot, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup cherries fresh or frozen, halved and pitted
1/2 cup chicken stock, preferably homemade, or low-sodium store bought
2 tablespoons cherry or berry whole-fruit preserves
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Rinse the duck inside and out and pat dry. Trim any excess fat from the neck and cavity, snip off wingtips and discard. Mix 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl, and sprinkle the bird inside and out. Using a paring knife, make dozens of slits through the skin and fat (taking care not to pierce the meat) all over both sides and all parts of the bird.
  • Put the duck breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan and roast for 1 hour. Take the bird out of the oven, transfer to a platter and carefully drain the fat from the pan into a measuring cup (you'll end up getting 2 to 3 cups). Return the duck to the pan, prick with the knife again, turn it breast-side down and roast another hour. Repeat each hour, roasting the duck for a total of 4 1/2 hours.
  • While the duck cooks, make the sauce: In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon duck fat over medium heat and cook the shallots until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the cherries, stock, preserves, honey and rosemary, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice, swirl in the butter and taste for salt and pepper. Set aside until the duck is finished.
  • After 4 1/2 hours of roasting, turn the oven temperature up to 350 degrees F, prick the duck skin one last time, salt the skin again and return bird to the oven, breast-side up. Roast for 30 minutes until the skin is nicely browned.
  • Remove from the oven, tent with foil and let rest for 20 minutes. Gently reheat the sauce over low heat. Carve the duck, put the pieces on a serving platter and serve with sauce.

PEPPERED DUCK BREAST WITH RED WINE SAUCE



Peppered Duck Breast With Red Wine Sauce image

Back in 2011, this version of steak au poivre made with duck breasts was introduced as part of a New Year's menu. Fancy enough for a gathering, but relaxed enough that it doesn't feel like too much, you can make it any time you want something a little more special than your average fare.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 Muscovy duck breasts (about 1 pound each)
Salt
1 tablespoon freshly crushed black peppercorns
4 garlic cloves, sliced
Fresh thyme sprigs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, sliced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups unsalted chicken broth
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons medium-bodied red wine
1 tablespoon Cognac or brandy
2 teaspoons potato starch

Steps:

  • Remove the tenderloins (the thin strips of meat on undersides of the duck breast) and reserve for the sauce. With a sharp knife, trim away any gristle from the undersides of the breasts and trim any excess fat. Score the skin in a diamond pattern, cutting through the fat but not quite reaching the meat. Lightly sprinkle salt on both sides, then rub 1 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns all over. Sprinkle with the garlic and a few thyme sprigs, cover, and leave at room temperature for 1 hour. (For deeper flavor, refrigerate the breasts for several hours or overnight, then return to room temperature before cooking.)
  • Heat 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and the reserved duck tenderloins; let them brown well, stirring occasionally, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and a small thyme sprig and let them fry for 1 minute.
  • Add the broth and 1/4 cup wine, raise the heat to a brisk simmer and let the liquid reduce to about 1 1/4 cups, about 10 minutes. Strain the sauce and return to the heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons red wine and the Cognac or brandy and cook for 1 minute more. Dissolve potato starch in 2 tablespoons cold water, then stir the mixture into the sauce. Whisk in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season to taste with salt. (Sauce may be made in advance and reheated, thinned with a little broth.)
  • Remove and discard the garlic and thyme sprigs from the breasts. Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium-high. When the pan is hot, lay in the duck breasts, skin-side down, and let them sizzle. Lower the heat to medium and cook for a total of 7 minutes, checking to make sure the skin isn't browning too quickly. With tongs, turn the breasts over and let them cook another 3 minutes for rare, 4 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Transfer to a warm platter and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice crosswise, not too thickly, at a slight angle and serve with the sauce.

Tips:

  • To ensure the duck is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The duck is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
  • For a crispy skin, pat the duck dry before roasting. You can also score the skin with a sharp knife, which will help the fat render and crisp up.
  • To make the red wine sauce, use a good quality red wine that you enjoy drinking. A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will work well.
  • If you don't have time to make the red wine sauce, you can use a store-bought sauce. Just be sure to choose a sauce that is made with real wine and not just grape juice.
  • Serve the roast duck with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Roast duck with red wine sauce is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home.
