Home Cooking Sessions: Christmas Duck à L’orange. Something a little different for the big day! Full recipe below! 👇🏽🦆😍
1. Get yourself a high quality bird and pat dry
2. Season with sea salt and dry brine in the fridge, uncovered, overnight
3. Remove from fridge and gently score the fat on each breast using a sharp knife. It’s much easier when the duck is super cold. Once scored, leave at room temp for an hour
4. For glaze, combine
2tbsp honey,
1tbsp sherry vinegar,
1tbsp Worcestershire sauce,
1tsp dark soy,
2 cloves garlic,
rosemary,
thyme and the
peel of 1 whole orange
5. Bring to med heat and simmer for 5-7 mins till thickened and glossy, then leave to cool
6. Stuff the duck with oranges and onions, place on roasting tray, then brush duck with glaze
7. Roast in the oven at 200c and brush every 20 mins with more glaze to build up the colour and caramelisation - keep an eye on the internal breast temp. Remove once this hits ~125-130f and leave to rest for 30 mins
8. For the L’orange sauce: add
2tbsp granulated sugar to a pan and bring to med heat - stir continuously until it starts to melt and form a light caramel,
then add in a good splash of sherry vinegar along with a
double shot of Grand Marnier and whisk vigorously
9. Once combined, add in juice of 2-3 oranges and reduce slightly for 3-4 mins before adding in your 350ml chicken stock or demi glace
10. Leave this all to reduce for 10 mins, then add in a slurry of 1tbsp corn starch and 1tbsp water to thicken. Season with sea salt, thyme and black pepp and adjust to taste
11. Keep reducing till thickened, then finish with a few cubes of cold unsalted butter and whisk to emulsify. Finish with segments of orange
12. Carve your rested duck, slice and pour over your beautiful sauce - garnish with chives
-
A beautiful bird with the most amazing sauce. Resting the duck is key here, as is scoring whilst ice cold. The Grand Marnier blue label is gorgeous too, I highly recommend, love the flavour profile of it, it’s insane. Enjoy! #notoriousfoodie 🙅🏽♂️
