Duck Breast in Orange Sauce

(Serves 4)

Ingredients:

         4 lean duck breasts
         3 oranges (sliced)
         1 small onion (sliced)
         1 garlic clove (fine chopped)
         2-3 leaves mint
         1 table spoon course marmalade
         3/4 pint (0.35 ltr) orange juice
         1 table spoon honey
         Salt & pepper to taste

Preparation:

Remove any skin from the duck breasts, slice in half and rub over with salt to season.

Layer the duck, onion and oranges in the slow cooker.

Add the orange juice and the rest of the ingredients into a suitable container and mix thoroughly. Pour this mix over the duck in the slow cooker.

Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

When cooked, remove duck and discard the fruit and vegetables, retaining the sauce.

Thicken the sauce to a good consistency with some cornflour or Arrowroot, simmer in a saucepan for 5 minutes or so.

 

Place duck breasts in a serving dish and pour over the orange sauce.

A delightfully tasty dish served with duck placed on a bed of boiled wild rice. Garnish with slices of Orange.
