Normally for Christmas it is TURKEY time every where.
But if you ask my daughter what she would like to have as main course, she'll tell me that she would love to have orange duck. Actually if i ask her for any kind of festivities what she would like to have in the list she always add this dish.I am not a fan of duck meat.
But my hubby and daughter loves this dish so i make them for special occasions.
Most of the ingridients
Rest of the things
Sugar and vinegar
2 Duck breast
150 g sugar
1/2 glass vinegar
6 oranges
1 small glass grand-marnier
100g butter
2 onions
2 carotts
1 garlic clove
1 thyme sprig
2 bay leaves
1/2 litre white wine
1 tablespoon tomato paste
salt, pepper.
Blanch the zest of three oranges.
Heat in a heavy pan the 50 gm butter and add the minced onions, sliced carotts, whole unpeeled garlic clove, thyme and bay leaves. Lightly caramalize everything.
Add then the wine and 1 tablespoon tomato paste.
Cover and cook for 45 minutes after boiling started.
When finished strain the sauce.
Heat a another pan and add the sugar and white vinegar cook until the caramel turns a golden brown.
When golden blond, add the sauce previously made.
Add the banched zest of 3 oranges, along with their juice and the grand-marnier.
Slice the 3 remaining oranges. They'll be used for decoration.
Whisk the juice, season and keep warm.
In the mean time heat a non stick pan and add the rest of the butter and fry the duck breast each side 5 minutes. Putut on a service dish decorated with the orange slices.
Pour the sauce over it and serve with potato crouquettes.

This is cool Happy. Thanks for this combo. My hubby likes duck. I've never adventured any dishes with duck expect the regular curry. This should be gr8. Bookmarked dear.
That is so nice of you to cook the food your family loves even though it is not something you want to eat. It looks great too, I'd happily share as I love duck meat.
I'm not like duck meat either. But loved your presentation. Looks like the one we get in restaurants. I love the orange chicken that we get in Panda express. Maybe I'll try to recreate that recipe with your orange sauce recipe. Thanks for sharing it.
I have only had duck once, but I really liked it. I wish it was easier to find duck where I live.

Sandeepa, Bad small when your friend made duck, i was surprised to read it so i rang my MIL ( she is expert in making meat like this) so she told me she have never came across bad small, it could be that the duck breast your friend bought was not fresh.
Hope this info help
