Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium duck breasts
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 blood oranges
1 shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Frisée (for serving)

Steps:

  • Score skin of duck breasts; season with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in a cold medium skillet; cook over low heat until fat is rendered and skin is dark golden, 12-15 minutes. Turn duck, increase heat to medium, and cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Meanwhile, cut peel and white pith from oranges. Cut along sides of membranes to release segments into a medium bowl.
  • Pour off all but 2 Tbsp. fat from skillet. Add shallot, vinegar, and half of orange segments. Season with salt and simmer until thick, about 4 minutes. Thinly slice duck and serve over frisée with pan sauce and remaining segments.

This dish was a disappointment. The duck was dry and the blood orange sauce was bland.

The duck was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the blood orange sauce was incredible. Will try again with a shorter cooking time.

Not bad, but not great. The duck was a bit dry and the blood orange sauce was too tart.

Followed the recipe to a T and the duck breasts turned out perfectly cooked and juicy. The blood orange sauce was a bit too tart for my taste, but overall a great dish.

This duck breast recipe is a game-changer! The blood oranges add a delightful tanginess that perfectly complements the richness of the duck. I highly recommend trying it.
