Description

This recipe is perfect for the holidays. The orange and the duck meat goes very well together. I serve it with potatoes or grilled plantains.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Duck (medium size)
  • 3 oranges
  • 2 carrots
  • 1 leek
  • 1 red onion
  • 60 g of sugar
  • 1 cup of vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Honey
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Orange liqueur (optional)
 

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven at 460 degrees.
  2. Put salt inside and out of your duck. 
  3. On medium high heat, put some olive oil in a sauce pan and brown your duck on each side for a few minutes.
  4. Put your duck in a baking pan with carrots, leek, onion around it and its giblets.
  5. Brush some butter on the duck and put it in the oven for 25 min.
  6. After the 25 min, take it out and brush some honey on one side of the duck.
  7. Put in back in the oven for 25 min minutes. (Put honey on the other side of the duck and back in the oven so it browns evenly for 5 min).
  8. Peel the skin on the oranges and cut them in matchsticks.
  9. In a small sauce pan, put some cold water with the orange skin and blanched them. Repeat the process after 10 min.
  10. Once they are cold, put them in a bowl and let them sit in orange liqueur for a while.
