Seared Duck Breasts with Blood Oranges
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 medium duck breasts
  • Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
  • 4 blood oranges
  • 1 shallot, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • Frisée (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Score skin of duck breasts; season with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in a cold medium skillet; cook over low heat until fat is rendered and skin is dark golden, 12–15 minutes. Turn duck, increase heat to medium, and cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Meanwhile, cut peel and white pith from oranges. Cut along sides of membranes to release segments into a medium bowl.
  3. Pour off all but 2 Tbsp. fat from skillet. Add shallot, vinegar, and half of orange segments. Season with salt and simmer until thick, about 4 minutes. Thinly slice duck and serve over frisée with pan sauce and remaining segments.
