Some things just go together. Orange and poultry, especially duck, is one such perfect combination. Nice bright citrus notes complement the sweetness of duck meat.

Ingredients

  • 8 wild duck breasts of 80 g each
  • sunflower oil for frying
  • 100 g sugar
  • 200 ml blood orange juice
  • 200 ml poultry or game stock
  • 50 ml red port wine
  • 50 g butter
  • 2 oranges
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Season the wild duck breasts with salt and pepper and sear them in hot oil on both sides. Place the wild duck breasts in a baking dish and keep warm in the oven at approx. 80°C. The core temperature should be 65°C so that the meat turns pink.
  2. Caramelise the sugar in a saucepan until brown, deglaze with the orange juice and poultry or game stock and reduce, thickening slightly if necessary.
  3. Season to taste with salt and pepper, flavour with port wine and assemble with butter. Remove the sauce from the heat.
  4. Peel the zest from the oranges. Then peel and fillet the oranges. Poach the zests.
  5. To serve, garnish the warm plate with sauce. Slice the wild duck breasts finely and lay them on the sauce. Sprinkle the blanched orange peel over the meat and decorate with the orange fillets.
