Canard à l'orange

   Pas 1Score and sear the duck2m 30s

   Start with a duck breast. Score the skin side in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Place skin-side down in a cold pan, then turn the heat to medium. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, rendering the fat.

   Nota

   Starting in a cold pan helps render more fat and achieve crispier skin.
