2Ingredients
Florida Citrus Sauce
- 2 Florida oranges, juiced
- ¼ cup of Florida Grapefruit Juice
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 limes, juiced
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 cups soy sauce
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 12 ounces lemon lime soda
- 1/4 cup sriracha
Braised Duck
- 1 duck breast, about 12 ounces, skin scored in mini hatch pattern
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 sprig of thyme
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Combine all sauce ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a saucepot, and cook on medium-high until sauce has reduced by 50%; hold at room temperature while cooking the duck.
- Season the duck with salt and pepper evenly and liberally.
- In a cold metal skillet, add sesame and vegetable oils and coat the pan.
- Place the duck, skin side down, on a cold oiled pan and turn the heat to medium-low.
- Constantly press the duck down so the skin hits the entire surface of the pan as it heats. Cook and press the duck until skin is dark golden brown (about 6-8 mins).
- Flip duck in the pan and add thyme, garlic clove, and butter; baste the duck as it cooks, ensuring oil is also hitting the thyme and garlic as you baste.
- Baste and cook on medium heat for another 5 minutes. Let duck rest for 3 minutes before slicing into thin strips to serve.
