| Amount | Measure | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | double duck breast (or chicken breast) | |
| 1 | clove | garlic, minced |
| Juice from two oranges and zest from 1/2 an orange | ||
| decent sized glug | olive oil | |
| sprinkling | fresh thyme | |
| small spoonful | mustard (brown is preferable) | |
| sprinkle | white pepper (or black) | |
| …To finish sauce: | ||
| Glug | white wine (if you have it on hand) | |
| Big spoonful | jam** | |
| Spoonful | butter |
**We use fig jam, but I am sure blackberry or raspberry would be tasty too.
To prepare:
- Put whole duck breasts in marinade and let sit for a half an hour or so.
- Preheat oven to 350°
- After marinating, scrape off excess marinade (so the garlic doesn’t burn)
- reserve marinade…
- Salt both sides of the duck and put duck skin side down into hot skillet.
- Brown on both sides. (about 3 minutes on each side)
- Transfer into a baking dish and put into oven.
- Cook until desired doneness – I like my duck on the pink side.
- If using chicken cook until juices run clear.
- While duck is in oven finish the sauce in the pan you were just cooking the duck in.
- Deglaze pan with white wine and scrape off brown bits.
- Pour in marinade, heat until bubbling gently and add spoonful of jam.
- Simmer over medium heat until thickened – about 5 minutes.
- Stir in butter and pour sauce over finished duck.
