Guest CHEF G’S SEARED DUCK BREAST w/ SPICED ORANGE MARMALADE

I had a sudden craving for duck and fruit…so THIS happened! Seared duck breast is one of my all-time favorite foods, and it pairs really well with a sweet orange sauce. I hadn’t prepared a marmalade glaze in quite some time, so I amped it up a bit with fresh ginger, fennel, and cayenne pepper. The flavor was amazing.

And believe it or not, this is a very simple recipe.

Try it…you’ll love it…

BON APPÉTIT Y’ALL!

CHEF G'S SEARED DUCK BREAST w SPICED ORANGE MARMALADE 2RECIPE INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 duck breasts
  • 16 oz orange marmalade
  • 2 tblsp soy sauce or liquid aminos
  • 2-3 fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1-2 tsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Sea salt (optional)

PREPARATION:

Pre-heat oven 350°F/190°C

Score the duck breast skin using a sharp knife in a criss cross pattern. Season skin with a little sea salt if desired. The soy sauce provides plenty of sodium.

Heat a large skillet over medium to med-high heat. Sear duck breast skin side down for 4 minutes until skin is golden brown. Turn and cook for another 2 minutes.

Mix remaining ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Spoon sauce on both sides of the duck breasts to coat. Cook in oven for about 8 minutes. Remove breasts from oven, transfer to plate, and allow to rest for a couple of minutes.

Slice, drizzle with remaining sauce, and serve hot.
