Orange and soy-glazed duck
Ingredients
- 3 ducks, whole
Sauce
- 250g sugar
- 250ml duck stock
- 10ml orange zest
- 125ml orange juice
- 125ml soy sauce
- 30ml balsamic vinegar
- 125ml apricot jam
- 45ml fresh thyme
- mashed potato, to serve
Instructions
Place the ducks in a pot with enough water to cover, bring to the boil over medium heat and boil for 40 minutes. This poaching process will draw the excess fat out of the duck. Preheat the grill.
To make the sauce, mix all the ingredients in a pot and reduce over a low heat until a sauce-like consistency is achieved, about 30 minutes. Set aside until needed.
Once the ducks are poached, portion, debone and set aside.
Mix the apricot jam and thyme. Brush the duck portions with the mixture and grill until crisp and brown, about 15 minutes.
To serve, place the duck on a serving dish and serve with the mashed potato and sauce.
