  • Easy Classic French Duck à l'Orange, My Method. Duck à l'Orange is probably one of the most classic, yet sadly most bastardized dishes of all of French cuisine. Done right, it's incredible; crunchy skin with incredibly juicy meat offset by a semi-sweet orange sauce. Done wrong, you'll end up eating fatty rubbery skin, tough meat, and an overly sweet sauce.
    Versions of duck à l'orange have been around forever. Just this morning I was reading a cookbook written by Louis Eustache Ude in the early 1800s. His version featured roasting a duck with a small bitter orange variety known as 'bigarade' in France, or marmalade oranges. The idea was to keep a sweet and sour balance to the sauce. This trend continued in the 1940s and 50s in France. But somewhere during the 1970s and 80s duck à l'orange became known as duck cooked in any method buried under an overly sweet sticky sauce. And then disappeared into the lost annals of great cuisine.
    My easy version is a return to the classics.

    This is such a classic dish. I've never made it before but after watching this video I can safely say I could make this easily. That's one fully stuffed mallard, great technique there. What an awesome recipe, and look at that crispy skin! Delicious.

    Tried this recipe and it was pretty easy and tasted incredibly nice! Video was easy to follow along. The sauce is what really makes this dish and my sauce came out so nice! I used freshly squeezed orange juice and bitter orange marmalade which gave the sauce a sweet and tangy touch.

    I'm making this right now 😉 so I noticed you didn't mention how long does the duck have to be in the oven the second time. I'll just keep an eye on the duck constantly this time. I'm so excited to start with the sauce... 😁

      OMG! I made that a few weeks ago. Epic Dish. Good Idea

    • @rythymsection7335
      @rythymsection7335 Před 3 lety +1

      Quick question. Would you ever add a gastrique to the sauce like bigarade or stick to white wine for acidity? Of course always with oj.

    • @PistouandPastis
      @PistouandPastis  Před 3 lety +1

      @@rythymsection7335 That is a bit complicated. In the old days bitter oranges were used for the sauce. To counter the bitterness, you would first caramelize sugar then stop it with the juice. If you wanted to replicate a gastrique for this sauce I would suggest finding bitter oranges first. Otherwise, just a bit of bitterness found in acidic wine or even oranges might be enough or maybe a slight squeeze of lemon juice or yuzu juice.

    Where’s the demi-glace?

      @PistouandPastis  Před rokem

      Josue - thanks for dropping in. I dropped into your profile and saw that you have Wish You Were Here saved... nice. That is one of my favorite songs. This recipe is for beginning home cooks and not intended to be the literal translation of Escoffier or even Francetelli's older recipes. I suppose if it were the better question might be where is the sauce Espagnole and the bigarade oranges. This recipe however does produce an excellent home version made with easier-to-find ingredients. When I was a chef I used to make demi glace all the time - gosh it seems like it was always cooking on a burner in the kitchen. I wish you happy holidays!

    Watchable till you scraped metal on metal aghhhhh. Only Joking, defo making this tonite, I accidentally picked up a chicken last time instead of a duck, it was still fine. But now I have a duck, yay!

    It‘s a shame that you didn‘t incorporate a gastrique in the sauce, which is merely caramalized sugar and red wine vinegar reduced by half. It gives the orange sauce such a nice sweet and sour note.
