Introduction
Duck and orange are a marriage made in heaven add a little Grand Marnier to make it extra special!
Oven temperature
Pre-heat oven to 190°c fan 170°c – 375°f – Reg5
Steps
Prepare the sauce first
In a pan on a moderate heat add honey, marmalade, liquor and orange juice, reduce until slightly sticky. (if too thick add orange juice).
Add Coriander and keep aside.
Score duck skin with sharp knife rub in mixture of salt & pepper
Heat a non-stick pan add butter and brown breasts on both sides (only about 3 minutes each side)
Place in roasting pan and put in oven.
Rough guide 5-6 mins for rare & 10-12 mins for well done (personal taste here)
Take out of oven when breast cooked to your liking – leave to rest for at least 10 minutes.
Add juices from pan to sauce and re heat.
Cooks tips
