Orange-Glazed Duck Breasts
INGREDIENTS:
(3) Oranges
(2) Lemons
(3) Tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 Tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 Teaspoon red pepper flakes
(6) Tablespoons orange marmalade
(6) Boneless, skinless duck breasts
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Makes 6 servings.
STEPS:
Prepare grill planks as in instructions.
Finely shred 1 tablespoon zest from 1 or 2 oranges, then
squeeze enough juice from the 2 oranges to measure 6 tablespoons.
Cut the remaining orange into 6 crosswise slices. Finely
shred 1 teaspoon zest from the lemons, then squeeze enough
juice from the lemons to measure 3 tablespoons. In a shallow
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 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 for up to 4 hours. Prepare a charcoal
or gas grill. Set the saucepan with the orange mixture over
medium-low heat on the stove top and simmer for 2 minutes.
Keep the sauce warm. Season the duck breast with salt and
pepper. Place the duck breasts on the grill planks and cook
turning once or twice and brushing with the warm sauce,
until cooked to your liking, 8-10 minutes total or medium
(pink in the middle and juicy). A few minutes before the
duck is done, brush the orange slices with the sauce and
place at the edge of the plank. Grill the orange slices,
turning once, until softened, 1-2 minutes per side. Serve
the duck garnished with the orange slices.
