Roast Duck L'Orange

Recipe #48561 | 2½ hours | 25 min prep | add private note

By: Quinn Horn
Dec 12, 2002

I found this recipe on the internet and modified it slightly. This is the best roast duck recipe I have made so far. The combination of seasonings goes very well with the duck and the l'orange sauce. I used the skin, bones and drippings to make a soup base that was out-of-this-world good!

SERVES 2 -4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

For the duck

Orange Sauce

Directions

  1. 1
    Sprinkle chili powder, garlic powder, and salt all over ducks.
  2. 2
    Cut 1-inch slice in skin of ducks on both sides of breasts.
  3. 3
    Puree garlic, sage and olive oil and fill in slices in skin with mixture.
  4. 4
    Chop apple into 1-inch pieces and stuff inside ducks.
  5. 5
    Bake at 350*F (175*C) for 1 hour 30 minutes for a slightly rare duck, or 2 hours for a well done duck.
  6. 6
    Put the ingredients for the L'Orange sauce in saucepan and heat until alcohol simmers off, about 6 minutes.
  7. 7
    Serve L'Orange sauce over sliced duck breasts or other parts.
  8. 8
    Makes about 1 cup.

this was really easy to make, and delicious. It was the first duck I ever cooked and it turned out really good. The orange sauce and the chili powder/garlic powder/salt combo goes good on chicken too.

    This is the first time I've cooked duck and I loved this recipe, it was simple and easy to make. I skipped the orange sauce because I'm not much of a sauce on meat person, but the rest of the recipe was great.

    This all made for 1 very rich, spicy, tasty duck. It was easy to make, and the only change I made to the recipe was to use cumquat preserves, rather than peach. I figured that would be OK as cumquats are citrussy-it worked fine for our tastes.

    Excellent recipe,we use the left over duck drippings as the base for the yorkshire puddings. Also double the sauce recipe as it is so popular when you serve the duck!
