Preparation
- Serving size:12.20 oz (calculated)Notes: 1/2 duck breast with sauce
- Wash and pat dry the duck breast, then lightly score the skin.
- In a pan over high heat, melt the butter in the lard. Instead of lard, you can also use oil or another fat suitable for high heat.
- Sear the duck breast with the skin side down. It should take on some nice color and get crisp.
- Add the sliced onion and garlic to the pan and brown them slightly.
- Add the broth and thyme.
- Reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Cover the pan with a lid so that a small slit is still open. Let simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer the broth and onions to a small pot.
- Add the orange juice, orange zest and cointreau and blend. If you want a more intense orange flavor, add more orange zest.
- Reduce until the sauce has the desired thickness, then season to taste. Alternatively, thicken it with a slurry of corn starch dissolved in cold water.
- While the sauce is reducing, broil the duck breast in the oven to crisp up the skin.
- Slice the duck breast and serve it with the orange sauce.
