Poke holes all over the breasts with a fork, and spread a layer of marmalade (about 1 tablespoon for each) over the duck breasts. Sprinkle the garlic over the top of the duck meat. Spread the onion and orange slices around the duck breasts in the dish.

Braised Duck With Orange And Lime Sauce

Free Recipe Braised Duck with Orange-And-Lime Sauce

Recipe Preparation: boil
Recipe Serves: 1

Ingredients for Braised Duck with Orange-And-Lime Sauce Recipe

Braised Duck with Orange and Lime Sauce

Braised Duck with Orange and Lime Sauce

5 lb To 5 1/2 pound duck
1/4 c Vegetable oil
2 c Chicken stock, fresh or
-canned
12 Whole cloves
1 Fresh hot chilli *
1/2 c Strained fresh orange juice
2 tb Strained fresh lime juice
1/2 c Finely chopped sweet bell pepper, preferably red
1/4 ts Salt

Braised Duck with Orange-And-Lime Sauce Preparation

Orange wedges or slices studded with whole cloves for garnish * about 1 1/2 to 2inches long, stemmed and seeded.

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Pat the duck completely dry inside and out with paper towels, and remove the large chunks of fat from the cavity. Cut off the loose neck skin and truss the bird securely, then prick the surface around the thighs, the back and the lower part of the breast with a skewer or the point of a sharp knife.

In a heavy 5- to 6-quart casserole, heat the oil over moderate heat until a light haze forms above it. Add the duck and, turning it frequently with a slotted spoon or tongs, cook for about 15 minutes, or until it browns richly on all sides.

Transfer the duck to a plate and discard the fat remaining in the casserole.

Pour in 1 cup of the chicken stock and bring to a boil over high heat, meanwhile scraping in any brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan.

Stir in the cloves and chilli, then return the duck and the liquids that have accumulated around it to the casserole.

Cover tightly and braise in the middle of the oven for 1 hour. Remove the duck to a plate, and with a large spoon skim as much fat as possible from the surface of the cooking liquid. Discard the cloves and chilli.

Add the remaining cup of stock to the casserole and, stirring and scraping in the brown bits that cling to the pan, bring to a boil over high heat.

Mix in the orange juice, lime juice, sweet bell pepper and salt. Return the duck to the casserole and baste it with the simmering sauce.

Cover tightly and return the duck to the oven for about 15 minutes. To test for doneness, pierce the thigh of the bird with the point of a small, sharp knife. The juice should trickle out a clear yellow; if it is slightly pink, cook the bird for another 5 to 10 minutes.

Place the duck on a heated platter and pour the sauce over it. Garnish the platter with the orange wedges or slices and serve at once.

Easy Pizza Dough Recipe

Basic Pizza Dough

1kg Baker’s flour (plain flour with a high protein level)

10g salt

10g sugar

20g dry yeast (or 40g fresh yeast)

660ml cold water

Wood-Fired Pizza Dough

Wood-Fired Pizzas

Wood-Fired Pizzas

600g Strong baker’s flour

400g Semolina flour

10ml extra virgin olive oil

10g salt

10g sugar

20g dry yeast

650ml water

Will make 7 x 12” pizzas (225g each), or 8 x 10” pizzas (200g each)

Method

Making Dough By Hand:

Making Pizza Dough

Making Pizza Dough

Mix all the dry ingredients together, and create a well in the centre.

  1. Carefully pour 600ml of water into the well and gradually incorporate the wet and dry ingredients by slowly bringing the flour into the water in the centre.
  2. Add the remaining water if necessary, depending on how dry the mixture is (it’s best to start with a little water and only add more if needed).
  3. Knead the dough, by pressing down with the palms and heel of your hands away from your body, and then turning the ball of dough after every pass.  (If the dough is too large to manage, break it down into two even batches).
  4. Continue kneading until you have a smooth ball of dough to work with – this should take roughly 10 minutes of kneading.  (You should be able to pull a piece of the dough out and stretch it quite thin, until it becomes translucent when held up to the light.  This is when you know the dough is ready.)

Making Pizza Balls:

Pizza Dough Balls

Pizza Dough Balls

  1. Divide the dough into balls of the desired weight – for 12” pizzas they need to be 225g (7), for 10” pizzas you’ll want it to be about 200g (8).
  2. Create round balls by taking each piece of dough in your hands, push your two thumbs into the centre and at the same time stretch the outside around it.
  3. Turn the dough halfway around, and repeat this process 3 or 4 times till you have a round ball with a smooth skin.
  4. Lightly dust your work bench with flour, and place the dough ball on the bench with the flatter side down and the roundest part facing up.
  5. Cover your dough balls with a tea towel to prevent a tough skin from forming.
  6. Let the dough balls rest for about 10 to 15 minutes under the tea towel.  This will make it much easier to roll out the balls later and help it hold its shape.  If you don’t allow it to rest long enough it can result in serious shrinkage of the dough after it has been rolled out.

Preparing Pizza Bases:

Pizza Base

Pizza Base

  1. Take your dough ball and place it on a lightly floured section of your bench.
  2. With the palm of your hand, press down into the middle slightly, turning the ball a couple of times as you do this – this should flatten the ball while beginning the round shape you want to achieve.
  3. Take your rolling pin, starting at the centre of the dough and push out towards the edges.
  4. Turn the dough as you do this, to keep your dough as round as possible.  At this point, your main aim is to push any air bubbles out of the dough.  If you just push the rolling pin back and forth, the air bubbles may remain in your dough and it will not cook evenly in the oven.  Instead you’ll most likely have bubbles rise while the pizza is in the oven, and push any toppings off to the side as well.
