Pin Recipe Instructions
- Melt the butter and sweat the shallots (as small as possible) in it. Add the honey and let it caramelize slightly. Deglaze with Cointreau and wait for the alcohol to evaporate. Top up with the broth, orange juice and the orange peel, simmer and reduce the liquid a little.
- Cut the duck breast into a diamond shape on the fat side. Season with sea salt and pepper on both sides and put in the hot pan. First fry with the fat side down (no additional fat required). Turn after approx. 6-8 minutes and fry until the meat is completely warm (duck breast should be a little pink in contrast to other poultry).
- Meanwhile, carefully season the sauce with salt and pepper and thicken slightly - with starch or ice-cold butter.
- Serve with croquettes and red cabbage and use basil leaves as a garnish.
About Editorial Staff
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
