I never thought that “canard à l’orange” takes so much work to make. Makes me appreciate the dish even more. Absolutely delicious!

The last time I had this dish was like, 36 years ago at a now closed restaurant that made Duck l'orange, soooo delicious. I hope mine comes out as well. I have had, Thailand style duck soup, it too was wonderful.

I did this dish for New year eve and I made the change to use chicken instead of beef for the stock and it was very tasty. I followed the rest of your tips and I got an amazing dish. Thank you!!!

Great video. Thanks for the instruction and the benefit of watching your awesome personality.

Thank you for the explicit explanations of the ingredients and directions. I used a different recipe because I didn't see yours first. But, I will definitely try this recipe soon. Really enjoyed this video and had to rewind the smoking duck, lol! Love this.

THAT looked authentic. SAVED! Thanks

For the broth. I recently tried the difference of the instant pot (like I've always done) and then did a 16 hour simmer on the stove. The 16 hour made it so much more delicious and full bodied. I've never had a better tasting broth. The instant pot is great and convenient and I'll use it again, but I'll always prefer it over the stove

FWIW in the instant pot I do a 10 minute boil then drain and clean the bones (to get rid of scum and impurities) 2 hours with just the roasted bones and water. Then 2 hours with the aromatics and the bones still in there. The extra time does help a lot. Will it be exactly the same? No. But I’d say it’s 90% there now and lets you make this on a weekday.

I followed this recipe to cook for my friends on my Bday last year. It was stellar. I still have a bunch on the gastrique in my freezer... haven't found many uses for it. For my next bday bash I'm going for the Serious Eats sous vide and fried Porchetta. Really stoked for it.

Unless you are super serious about never throwing away anything you could possibly use it probably isn't worth storing the gastrique for so long, it is a cheap and easy thing to make after all. If you need a new one you can make a new one instead of having your freezer space being eaten up like that.

For duck a l’orange recipe, I came here first. Man, I love your passion for great food, I get it. I make bone broth every winter. If we get sick, forget the chix soup, it’s the bone broth every time. I make a big one, using chicken feet, marrow bones, knuckle bones, whatever I get my hands on, it’s broth jello, until heated up, add some salt, delicious! Also, when making bone broth, I put in about a cup of ACV, it extracts everything! Cinnamon sticks, star anise, fennel seeds, chiles, whole allspice, cardamom, a bunch of stuff! It’s heavenly! Oh yeah, forgot to mention I simmer it for about three days, only while we’re up and about of course. 🤪💜. Hope somebody out there tries it, it’s worth the time and patience, and so healthy! Just keep adding only bottled water, if you can, from start to finish, bottled water only.

My bone broth has been cooking for almost two days. Cant wait to make this bomb recipe!

How did it come out? Details plz!

I learned something! My mama used to roast both duck and goose with a sauce made of Keiller's orange marmalade. Heated up so it would flow smoothly plus some orange zest to offset the bird (my mama's reasoning). She said it was the ordinary way to serve duck or goose in her native Lancashire. I had no idea that it was so closely related to duck a l'orange. It wasn't until I moved out of my parents' household that I learned of the horror of that American made stuff that is called marmalade. They don't even have orange rind in it most of the time!

@queeffairy

You buy cheap no zest for you. But no sadly it's hard to find the good marmalade.

So common in the 70s, so hard to find today. My daughter served it to me for my birthday. It took me right back 45 years to the days of my youth.

If I ever do make this dish (I hope), it will be this recipe, thank you, Serious Eats!

That was really intense and detailed. Can't fault it. I'm going to just slather some marmalade on the duck before I roast it. I figure if I use wild rice, the others will be so busy complaining about the black things in the rice, it'll keep them distracted.

Bitter oranges are *amazing* for culinary applications; there are tonnes of recipes where there are still used, especially in the Mediterranean. The fact that bitter orange trees can be grown from seeds and have *_any_* other citrus eyes grafted onto them is one more reason, but generally you should know that you'll find bitter orange trees throughout the region, quite notably in Greece. You can juice them to flavour chickpea soup, various desserts, turn them to jam (the original British marmalade is made with bitter oranges, after all), make all sorts of other desserts or sauces from them, including candied peel, preserved the rind or unripe young fruit in a thick syrup where they've been boiled in, and so much more!

Yeah, all you have to do is come to Athens in mid-winter and you'll find the streets of the city lined with sour orange trees -- νεράντζια (nerantzia -- close to original Persian for the fruit: naranj) -- laden with fruit!

Most peelers have a mini peeler on the side for gouging out little bad bit of potato for instance. It works perfect for scraping the pith out too after peeling the orange skin with the peeler.

Great idea! Thank you!

Hail the master!! :-) Thank you for all the great advice! I wish I were there, to taste the result. I had the amateur version of this dish made a few times and had great feedback from my "victims". Still, I try to make it reasonably authentic with perhaps just a few shortcuts for practical reasons. Unfortunately I can't get bitter oranges where I live but I have a calamondine orange tree which produces seemingly impossible amounts of fruit. It feels very similar to the description of bitter oranges (bitter and sour) and I used that, for a substitute, instead of oranges and lemons. (...but used normal oranges for the zest.) I think the results were good and it contributed to the creation of that perfect balance of bitter/sour/sweet/salty/savoury this dish is famous for. I agree that it is sooo disappointing when you are given a purely sweet version of Duck à l'Orange! BTW, some people tell calamondine is only good for cooking but when they are fully ripe, they are not too bad to eat or juice it and mix it with something. They also make an amazing jam which is easy and quick to make. That's my plug for calamondine but go, Duck à l'Orange! ;-)

Duck confit is always well done but man can I not get enough of it.

Ok so I’m usually NEVER about taking the easy way out when it comes to cooking. However, since I don’t have a rack for my roasting pan (look, I live on a boat, man! I’m lucky enough to have a REAL FULL-SIZE gas oven/range! That is rare on a 38 foot boat! But space is still at a premium!) so I’ve seen other chefs using the mirepoix and the neck and wing bones AS the “rack” in order to lift the duck off the bottom of the pan. So…. My question is, rather than using beef stock as the base for the duck stock…. Couldn’t we theoretically utilize the fat drippings from the duck over top of the roasted mirepoix w/orange pieces as the base for the orange sauce in a pinch??? Well, I’m going to try it that way, but does anyone have any experience or suggestions? I’ve only cooked a roast duck once before and it was pretty darn tasty, but i did it very simply with just S&P, garlic and herbs.

thank you donna

Nope. Too sweet. As he says in the recipe - "Bigarade" is the French name of bitter oranges, also sometimes sold as Seville oranges.' No point adding more sweetness when the lemons are there to mediate the standard Navals or other normal oranges you'd fins. Sevilles have a very limited season, which is a pain.

I'm wondering how many people have a 50 gallon pot in their kitchen.

Wow, surprised people aren't raving about how insanely (!!!) delicious thus looks! I want to make this so bad but I think it's just too expensive for me and am looking for shortcuts, even though I'm sure they will alter the final result. Making the gastrique - no problem. A whole duck...? Can I just do a chicken breasts or even use duck confit (I have some at home right now). That would obviously mean losing the trimmings of the duck, so there wouldn't be a duck stock. Also don't think I'll be making the beef stock but I have some premade (homemade) beef stock in the freezer I could use but it's not quite as gelatinous as the one here. I also have a bone broth concentrate (bought online) that has no seasonings at all, but it is quite cloudy. Have used it for pho before and it's actually great for that, albeit cloudy. Maybe I should use a mix of the two? Also for the Seville oranges -dont have them, couldn't get them. Now I could go for the lemon & orange combo you showed here, but I'm wondering if I could use Marmelade (have a good homemade one here from my mother in law). Could I use that and less sugar in the gastrique? So many questions and I'm already thinking to myself: if you're going to do it, do it right, but I'm craving this and don't think I SHOULD go all out just for a craving.... Thank you for the video and inspiration. I love your down-to-earth presentation. When looking for a recipe I prefer the focus being in that, rather than on the person. Will see if I can find more videos from you.

Until it looks good......... not that hard

So much of the modern culinary arts has evolved by borrowing from Chinese culinary techniques. This duck recipe as well. Blanching and drying is a classic technique for Peking duck and Cantonese duck. I’ve had the original canard alorange and the skin was not crispy. I’m sure this version is better w the crisping technique.

ngl. From what I gather.... The sauce is the most pain in the ass part to make.

This guy did a superb stock and sauce, the cooking of the duck kind of ordinary and inexact and the presentation he skipped. Anyway, this was worth just for the stock.

The moment i hear l’orange, paused, comment, skip

this was good until he used presure cocker. I dont know about other countrys but i don't know anyone who own one. And this is years after they started to sell. Did not catch on here
