SEARED ORANGE DUCK BREAST

Make and share this Seared Orange Duck Breast recipe from Food.com.

Provided by catsoverhusband

Categories     High Protein

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb boneless skinless duck breasts
2 tablespoons grated orange rind
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
4 large garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup sake
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon tamari
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • Combine duck, rind, salt, pepper and garlic in a covered dish and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine the orange juice, sake, tamari and honey in a small sauce pan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid in reduced to 2/3.
  • Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet. Add duck and sear each side - the time you should leave it on each side depends on the thickness of the duck and your preference for the doneness.
  • Drizzle the duck with a few tablespoons of the sauce. Bake for 5 - 10 minutes, again depending on the thickness of the duck breast and your preference for the doneness.
  • Remove duck from the pan, slice into strips and top with the sauce. Serve with rice and a healthy, steamed veggie.
  • Additional notes: The picture is from my first attempt at this recipe, which admittedly is a hack from a CookingLight recipe. The duck was cooked more than I prefer, but it was still delicious. The sauce was thin, so you could add corn starch to thicken it, but I would rather have a thin sauce. It is very flavorful. I also drizzled it on the rice and snow peas.

COOKING LIGHT'S SEARED ORANGE DUCK BREAST



Cooking Light's Seared Orange Duck Breast image

This is from Cooking Light, 2006. I've used duck legs and it works just fine. I also add Chinese five spice to the duck with the orange zest and garlic. And sometimes, I turn it into a drunken duck by adding a tablespoon or so of Grand Marnier to the sauce while I'm reducing it. I serve this beautiful dish with whipped sweet potatoes (with orange zest, cream cheese and Chinese five spice powder) and roasted green beans with shallots. This pairs nicely with a sweet to semi-sweet white wine. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Duck Breasts: Opt for duck breasts with a good layer of fat, as this will help keep them moist during cooking.
  • Scoring the Duck Breasts: Use a sharp knife to score the skin of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern. This will help the fat render and the seasoning to penetrate the meat.
  • Seasoning the Duck Breasts: Generously season the duck breasts with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cooking the Duck Breasts: Sear the duck breasts in a hot skillet skin-side down until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Then, flip the duck breasts and cook on the other side until they reach your desired doneness.
  • Resting the Duck Breasts: After cooking, let the duck breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Using Blood Oranges: Blood oranges add a unique and vibrant flavor to this dish. If you can't find blood oranges, you can substitute regular oranges or grapefruit.

Conclusion:

Seared duck breasts with blood oranges is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your duck breasts are cooked to perfection and that the flavors are well-balanced. Serve the duck breasts with a simple salad and your favorite sides for a complete meal.
