Duck With Raspberries Canard Aux Framboises Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the duck skin (like tic tac toe). Cook duck on its skin in a saute pan ( low-medium heat )for about 20 minutes, until skin is crisp. Turn over and continue cooking 5 or 7 minutes more according to taste (rare, medium rare, etc.)
• Remove fat from saute pan, add orange juice and 1 cup of frozen raspberries. Cook and let reduce until sauce becomes smooth. Strain, add butter, salt and pepper to taste. Slice duck, garnish with wild rice, vegetable of your choice and decorate with a few fresh raspberries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven on broiler setting. Use a fork to score the duck breasts through the skin and fat but not all the way through to the meat.
• Heat a large heavy skillet on medium high. Fry the duck breasts skin side down, until the skin browns and fat runs out, about 10 minutes. Remove the breasts from the pan, and pour off most of the fat. Return breasts to pan, and fry skin side up for another 10 minutes. Remove breasts from pan, and allow to rest on a baking sheet. Mix the sea salt, cinnamon and Demerara sugar together and sprinkle over the skin of the duck breasts. Pour most of the fat out of the frying pan.
• Mix together the red wine, cassis, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour into the pan, and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is thickened. Add raspberries, and simmer for another minute until heated through.
• Broil the duck breasts skin side up, until the sugar begins to caramelize, about 1 minute. Slice the duck breasts thinly, pour a little sauce over the top, and serve warm.
