Steps:
- For the sauce: Place a large sauté pan or rondeau over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and duck bones and necks and deeply brown on both sides. Add the onions, carrots, celery, lemongrass, garlic, bay leaves, thyme and a large pinch of salt and stir. Add the wine and stock and simmer for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Meanwhile, place a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the sugar and vinegar and bring to a simmer, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Add the orange juice and continue to simmer the gastrique until syrupy, 8 to 10 minutes. You should have around 1/2 cup.
- When the stock mixture is ready, strain it and add 1/2 cup to the gastrique, whisking to combine. Simmer until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes, then keep the sauce warm.
- For the duck: While the sauce is reducing, score the skin on the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern using a very sharp knife and being careful not to cut into the meat. Season the breasts on both sides with salt and pepper and place skin-side down in a cold large sauté pan coated with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Place the pan over medium-low heat and slowly render most of the duck fat, 8 to 10 minutes. When the skin is deep golden brown and crisp, flip the breasts over and briefly brown on the other side. Place the star anise, ginger and thyme into the rendered fat and then baste the breasts until they have finished cooking, 3 to 5 minutes for medium. Transfer to a cutting board and keep warm. Reserve the duck fat in the pan for the potatoes.
- For the parsley salad: Combine the parsley stems and orange supremes in a medium bowl. Toss with the orange juice, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and set aside.
- For the potatoes: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Meanwhile, tourne the potatoes. Trim each end so it's flat. The length of each potato should be roughly 2 inches. Using a paring knife or bird's beak knife, make 7 slices the length of the potato until you end up with a football shape. Put each potato in cold water after you tourne it to prevent oxidation.
- Add the potatoes to the boiling water and boil until crisp-tender, 6 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and pat dry.
- Place a sauté pan over medium heat, add the reserved duck fat and heat until shimmering. Strain through a fine-mesh strainer into a heatproof bowl, then add 1 tablespoon of the fat back to the pan. Add the potatoes and cook, turning often, until light golden brown on all sides. Turn the heat down to low. Season with salt and pepper, then add the thyme and continue to cook, turning the potatoes occasionally, until tender.
- Add the breasts to the pan, then pour off any excess fat. Remove the pan from the heat, add the Grand Marnier and flambe. When the flame goes out, return the pan to the heat, add the reserved sauce and heat through. Stir in the parsley and butter, season with pepper, then remove from the heat. Thinly slice the breasts, flesh-side up, against the grain. Place the potatoes on a platter, followed by the sliced duck, fat-side up. Drizzle with the sauce and top with the parsley salad.
DUCK BREAST IN SALT CRUST
Steps:
- 1. Mix the coarse salt with the flour and egg whites in a bowl. Preheat the oven to 460F. 2. Heat a skillet over high heat. When it is quite very hot, lay the duck in the pan, skin side down, and sear for 45 seconds (original recipe 30 seconds), still over high heat. Turn the duck and sear the other side for 45 seconds (original recipe: 30 seconds). Season both sides with pepper. Remove the duck to a plate, skinside up, and allow it to cool. 3. Lay a bead of the coarse salt mixture in a baking dish. Set the duck on top of the salt, skin side down, and then cover it completely with he remaining salt mixture. Bake for 17 - 18 minutes (original recipe 15 minutes). Have salt of even thickness on both sides of the duck. 4. Let the duck rest for 10 minutes when it comes out of the oven. Then shatter the salt crust, remove the duck, brushing of any excess salt, and serve.
DUCK BREAST WITH DUKKAH CRUST, ENDIVE, POTATO AND SOUR CHERRY JUS

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Score the skin on the duck in a crosshatch pattern, being careful not to cut into the meat. Sprinkle the duck on both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Gently heat a dry cast-iron pan over low heat. Place the duck into the pan, skin side down, and begin to slowly render the duck fat. Very slowly and gently, cook until most of the fat has rendered, about 20 minutes. Flip the duck and cook on the flesh side for 3 to 4 minutes, basting with some of the duck fat, until the duck reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees F for medium-rare. Remove from the pan and allow to rest on a sheet tray lined with a rack. Reserve the duck fat.
- Add a drizzle of oil, 2 sprigs of the thyme, the bay leaf, shallots and pink peppercorns to a small saucepan. Saute over medium-high heat until the shallot has softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sugar and 1/2 cup of the sherry vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced au sec (or until there is barely anything left), a few minutes. Add the red wine and continue to reduce until almost completely dry, 5 to 6 minutes. Add 1 cup of the veal demi and 1/2 cup of the chicken stock and cook until reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Strain the sauce into another saucepan and put back on the heat. Add the sour cherries and the remaining cup of demi and reduce until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar and remove from the heat.
- Coat the bottom of a large cast-iron pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Season the endive with salt and place into the pan, cut side down, and sear for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and place onto a sheet tray.
- In another large saute pan, add the orange juice and the remaining 4 sprigs thyme and 1/2 cup chicken stock. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Add the charred endive and the remaining 1 stick butter and braise in the sauce until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Combine the coriander, cumin, sesame seeds, cardamom and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a small bowl. Brush the skin side of the duck breast with the honey. Press an even crust with the spice mixture onto the duck, making sure to firmly press to ensure it's nicely adhered to the honey. Slice the duck lengthwise.
- For the potatoes, using a cast-iron pan, heat up the reserved duck fat on medium heat. Season the sliced potatoes. Sear the potatoes gently in the duck fat and then place in the oven. Cook on the first side until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, then flip over for another 8 minutes.
- To plate, place one endive at the 2 o'clock position, 2 slices of roasted potato at 5 o'clock and the sliced duck breast at 9 o'clock - or just have fun and artfully display the beautiful work you've just produced. Sauce the center of the plate and a little bit around the duck. Garnish with flaky sea salt.
