Duck a l'orange

I did this with 4 duck breasts which were plenty for 5-6 people; pan fried for 10 minutes then finished off in the oven for 20 - still quite pink in the middle but very tender. I would double the sauce next time.





•             Zest and juice of 1 one large orange or two small oranges
•             150ml of pineapple juice
•             1 tablespoon of white sugar OR marmalade
•             1 teaspoon of corn flour mixed with water to make a paste
•             4 orange segments
•             1 table spoon of flat leaf parsley roughly chopped

1.            Place the oranges, pineapple juice and sugar in a pan.
2.            Bring to the boil and reduce by a third.
3.            Stir in the corn flour.
4.            Simmer for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
5.            Serve with your cooked duck, garnish with orange segments and parsley.
