Duck with Orange Sauce
March 2, 2016 by Judith Hanneman
Duck with orange sauce is the most favored way to serve this bird.
I haven’t eaten duck in close to 30 years! That was due more to price and availability where I live now. I decided to treat myself when I saw them in the store last week.
The thing I love about duck is the nice crispy skin. Believe it or not, I’m pretty “meh” about the meat since I’m not a huge fan of dark meat on poultry other than chicken.
But the reason I bought this was for something you really wouldn’t think–I wanted some rendered duck fat. Yes, the fat.
The French use the fat in many haute gourmet recipes. I actually don’t do “haute gourmet” because, well, it’s too much work…
