Orange Glazed Duck Breasts


This was the first time we cooked duck on the grill, and I highly recommend it.  I was always hesitant to cook duck breasts in the house because they become so easily smokey...the grill is a much better answer.  The subtle orange flavor and crisp outer crust is delicious.  We used leftover meat the next day on a very simple salad.  I served the duck breast over some hearty wild rice, so tasty. Enjoy!

Orange Glazed Duck Breasts

  • 2 oranges
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 Tbl. olive oil
  • 1 Tbl. chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1/2 tspn. red pepper flakes
  • 3 Tbl. orange marmalade
  • 3 boneless, skinless duck breasts
  • salt and fresh ground pepper
-Finely shred 1 Tbl. zest from 1-2 oranges, then squeeze enough juice from the 2 oranges to make 3 Tbl. Cut one of the oranges into 3 crosswise slices.  Finely shred 1 tspn. of lemon zest, then squeeze enough juice from the lemon to measure 2 Tbl.  In a shallow, non-reactive dish just large enough to hold the duck in a single layer, stir together the orange and lemon zest and juices, the oil, tarragon, and red pepper flakes.  Transfer half of the mixture to a small saucepan and stir in the marmalade; set aside.  Place the duck in the dish and turn to coat both sides.  Cover the marmalade mixture and the duck and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4.

-Set the saucepan over medium-low heat on the stove and simmer for 2 minutes.  Keep the sauce warm.  Season the duck with salt and pepper.  Prepare the grill, and place the duck breasts over direct heat on medium-high.  Turning once or twice, brush with the warm sauce, until charred and cooked to your liking, 8-10 minutes total for pink inside.  Slice the duck and place extra orange slices on the plate with cooked rice.  Enjoy!.

  4. The website is looking bit flashy and it catches the visitors eyes. Design is pretty simple and a good user friendly interface.

  5. I get to share my thoughts through my own blog and in sermons most Sunday mornings. Those people who serve the congregation as Worship Weavers often have an opportunity to share their thoughts on things that matter. And people who are a part of a covenant group can talk with each other, Yet there is no good way for most of us to share our thoughts, opinions, musings, and meditations with the wider congregation.

  7. I knew at a young age that the nasty green shot you got at the health food store or juice bar, that was followed with an orange squad (yes, an orange wedge, but I called them squads) was good for me, but I had no idea why, the same kinda follows now, except I know a few more details about it's real health benefits, because I am genuinely interested in what it provides to my overall well-being.
