Keto Duck Breast with Orange Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
2 duck breasts (770 g), with the skin
Salt and pepper
2 Tablespoons of olive oil (30 ml), to cook with
1/2 medium onion (55 g), sliced
Juice from 1/2 small orange (50 g)
Zest from small orange (strips tied in a muslin parcel)
3 pcs. star anise (tied in the same above-mentioned muslin parcel)
1 teaspoon of arrowroot flour (2 g), for thickening sauce
1/2 cup of chicken broth (120 ml)
Pinch of stevia
2 Tablespoons of fresh parsley (2 g), finely chopped for garnish
Additional grated orange zest for garnish (optional)
Preparation
1
Preheat the oven to 300°F / 150°C.
2
Using a very sharp knife, score the duck breast skin at a 45 degree angle and rub salt and pepper all over the duck breast, including into the scored skin.
3
Heat up a frying pan or skillet to high heat and place the duck breasts skin-side down into the pan.
4
Sear the duck breasts until the skin has caramelised and crisped, about 5 minutes. Then using tongs, turn the breasts over and cook the meat side for a few minutes until browned.
5
Remove the duck breasts and place on a greased roasting tray. Place in the oven skin-side up to cook a little further while you finish the rest of the dish (approx. 10-15 minutes).
6
Keep the rendered duck fat in the pan and add in the olive oil, and cook the diced onions until they’re caramelized and golden.
7
Add the orange juice to deglaze as well as the muslin parcel containing the strips of orange zest and star anise.
8
Cook for a minute or two, then remove from the heat and strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the onions – but not the muslin.
9
Return the strained sauce to the heat and open the muslin parcel of zest strips and star anise and add into the sauce. Add a pinch of Stevia if you feel it is not sweet enough. Whisk the arrowroot into the chicken stock in a small jug, then pour into the pan.
10
Cook the sauce gently for 1-2 minutes until it has sufficiently thickened.
11
Serve the duck with the sauce and garnish with the chopped parsley and additional orange zest.
