Ingredients

Sea salt

Freshly ground black pepper

1 4 to 5-pound duck, rinsed, dried, and cut in half

4 sprigs of thyme

4 cloves of garlic, skin left on and lightly crushed

1 - 2 juicing oranges, sliced

4 leaves fresh sage

Directions

Salt and pepper the duck liberally on both sides.

Place each half, skin side down, in a large, heavy-bottomed (preferably cast-iron) pan.

Wedge the thyme and garlic under the skin.

Place the orange slices on top of the skin

Place 2 sage leaves beneath each of the meat pieces

Cover the pan with its lid or with foil, and place it over low heat.

Braise for one hour (duck should crackle and sizzle gently; skin should be golden and crisp; most fat should be rendered).

Turn duck.

Cover pan.

Braise for another hour, until duck bottom is well browned and meat is quite tender.

Remove duck to a cutting board; with poultry shears, halve the halves.

Place two tablespoons of the reserved fat from the pan into a clean saute pan, and heat the pan to medium high.

Place duck pieces skin side down, and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, just until skin turns crisp and dark.

Transfer to a dish and cover with foil, letting the meat rest 5 minutes before serving.

I always loved the orange-duck combination. This is the perfect meat for the tangy sweet taste of oranges!
