Grilled Marinated Duck Breast With Fresh Plum Chutney Leek And Garlic Fondue With Hoisin Lime Oil Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together the Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, hot sauce, garlic, and pepper. Add the duck breasts, and toss well to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to overnight.
• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat.
• Grill the duck to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium-well, depending on the size of the breast, and the temperature of the grill.

Steps:

• Combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, five spice powder, dry mustard and some salt and pepper in a bowl. Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck so it has a 1/4-inch diamond pattern. Rub the spice mixture all over the duck.
• Heat a grill to medium (make sure it's not too hot since the key is to cook duck slowly to render the fat) and wipe down the grates with an oiled towel. Place the duck skin-side down on the grate and cook until the skin is seared and the fat is rendered, 4 to 5 minutes. (If there are occasional flare-ups from the fat, move the duck around on the grill to a new spot away from the flame each time.) Flip the duck over and place on a cooler part of the grill. Cook for an additional 5 minutes for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 to 7 minutes before cutting against the grain into thick slices.

Steps:

• Place duck breasts in a glass dish with onion, carrot and thyme, "Essence", and garlic. Pour in the wine, mix, cover and marinate overnight in the fridge.
• Next day, remove meat from marinade, and drain them, preserving the marinade.
• Melt the pork fat and 2 tbsp butterover high heat and saute the breasts for five minutes each side.
• Remove and cover the breasts in a 250 degree oven, to keep them warm while you make the sauce.
• Pour off all the fat from the pan, and deglaze with Armagnac. Pour in the unstrained marinade and boil until reduced to one half its original volume.
• Strain the liquid, and bring to a boil a second time, whisking constantly and adding the butter chunks, a few at a time.
• As soon as the butter is incorporated to the sauce, pour over the breasts and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, combine oil, vinegar, chopped garlic, 1 sprig thyme, 1 sprig rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add duck, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate, turning occasionally, overnight in the refrigerator.
• Remove duck from marinade, and pat dry with paper towels; discard marinade. Set aside. Place a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add duck, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is browned and crispy, about 8 minutes. As excess fat accumulates, drain into a heatproof bowl and reserve. Increase heat to medium-high; turn duck, and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Meanwhile, pour reserved fat into a cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add potatoes; when just beginning to brown, add picked rosemary, thyme, and remaining unpeeled garlic. Saute until potatoes are crispy and golden, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Just before serving, slice duck across the grain into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Fan out decoratively between two plates. Garnish each with a rosemary sprig; serve with potatoes.

Steps:

• For chutney, in a saucepan, combine orange juice and sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add the apricots, cherries, raisins, ginger, coriander, cumin, salt, pepper and cloves. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cook until apricots are tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; stir in lemon juice. Let stand at room temperature for at least 2 hours., Season both sides of duck with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, saute duck, skin side down, in oil until skin is browned; turn and cook for 1 minute. Set aside 1 tablespoon drippings. , Place duck on a greased rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 350° until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium, a thermometer should read 165°; well-done, 180°), 30-35 minutes. , For orange sauce, saute garlic in reserved drippings for 1 minute. Add wine; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until reduced by half. In a bowl, combine the cornstarch, orange juice, broth and orange zest until blended. Stir into wine mixture. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add butter and basil; whisk until smooth. Remove skin from duck if desired before slicing. Serve with orange sauce and chutney.,

Steps:

• For the sauce, fry the shallot in the oil for 5 mins or until softened but not coloured. Add the plums and sugar, stirring for a few mins until the sugar has dissolved. Add the red wine and stock, then simmer for about 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly thickened. Keep warm or leave at room temperature for up to a day before reheating to serve.
• Meanwhile, heat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/gas 4. Score the skin of the duck breasts with a sharp knife and season well with salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick frying pan and place the duck breasts in, skin-side down. Fry for 6-7 mins, then turn and add the thyme, star anise and butter. Allow this to melt, basting the duck with the juices, then transfer everything to a small roasting tin and finish in the oven for 5-6 mins for pink or 10-12 mins for well done.
• When the duck is ready, baste again with the juices, then rest for 5 mins while you finish everything else.
• To serve, thinly slice each duck breast on a chopping board. Arrange on each plate along with a spoon of the Creamed potatoes, some of the plum sauce and the Buttered spinach.
