3 – Preparing the Canard à L’Orange Caramel Sauce

J’ai la chance d’avoir Jonelle, mon Ă©tudiante, comme assistante. Elle me demande:
-Qu’est-ce que je peux fairepour t’aider?
Je réponds:
– si tu veux, tu presses 2 oranges, et un demi citron et tu gardes deux ou trois cuillĂšres de ce jus pour dĂ©layer la MaĂŻzena.

I am lucky to have my student Jonelle as an assistant. She asks me:
– what can I do to help you?
I reply:
– If you want, you can squeeze the juice of 2 oranges and half of a lemon and keep 2 or 3 tablespoons aside to dissolve the cornstarch in.

Moi, j’allume le four Ă  200°C et pendant que le four chauffe, je vais faire un caramel. C’est trĂšs facile de faire un caramel, il faut tout simplement mettre le sucre en poudre dans la casserole sur feu moyen et attendre! Le secret pour rĂ©ussir un caramel c’est de ne rien faire! J’aime ça! Pour bien rĂ©partir la chaleur vous pouvez tourner la casserole par le manche mais il ne faut surtout pas essayer de tourner avec une cuillĂšre.

I pre-heat the oven at 200 °C (400 ° F) and while the oven is heating up, I am going to make a caramel. It’s very easy to make a caramel, you just need to put the sugar in the pan on medium heat and wait! The secret to getting your caramel right is to do nothing! I like that! You can move the pan around using the handle but you must not try to mix it with a spoon.

Jonelle est étonnée de la simplicité:
– Waouh, c’est gĂ©nial! Moi, je le rate toujours!

Jonelle is surprised how easy it is:
– Wow, that’s amazing! I always go wrong doing it!

Maintenant que le caramel est bien dorĂ© (assez foncĂ© mais pas brĂ»lĂ©), tu peux ajouter le jus des oranges et du citron 
 (Attention, ça Ă©clabousse Ă  cause du grand contraste de tempĂ©rature!) et tu rĂ©chauffes le tout.

Now that the caramel is blond color (dark but not burnt), you can add the juice
 (Be careful, it will splash because of the big difference in temperature!) and re-heat the whole thing.

Quand le caramel est bien fondu dans le jus, ajoutes progressivement la MaĂŻzena dĂ©layĂ©e dans un peu de jus d’orange et tournes avec une cuillĂšre en bois jusqu’à ce que la sauce devienne plus Ă©paisse. Elle doit ressembler Ă  un sirop.VoilĂ ! Ta sauce est prĂȘte!

When the caramel is completely mixed with the juice, add the diluted cornstarch gradually and mix with a wooden spoon until the sauce thickens. It must look like a syrup. Here, your sauce is ready!

4 – Preparing the Breast of Duck

Maintenant, nous allons nous occuper des magrets de canard: il faut faire chauffer une poĂȘle sur feu fort sans matiĂšre grasse et pendant ce temps faire des incisions dans la peau. Quand la poĂȘle est trĂšs chaude, places les magrets cĂŽtĂ© peau pendant environ 2 minutes, retournes les cĂŽtĂ© chair pendant 30 secondes et Ă©teins le feu.

Now we will take care of the duck breasts: you must heat a skillet on very high without any fat, meanwhile, make a few incisions in the skin. When the skillet is very hot, just put in the breasts skin side for 2 minutes, then flip them flesh side for 30 seconds and turn off the heat.

Ensuite, tu mets les magrets dans ce plat qui va au four, la peau sur le dessus. Tu sales, tu poivres. Il n’y a plus qu’à enfourner pendant 12 minutes environ. C’est cette partie que tu peux faire Ă  la derniĂšre minute si tu as des invitĂ©s!

Then put the breasts in this dish that goes is oven-proof, skin on top. Salt, pepper. And now put in the hot oven for about 12 minutes. That’s the part you can do at the last minute when you have guests!

Ah oui, et il ne faut pas oublier de réchauffer la sauce!!

Oh yes, and not forget to warm up the sauce!!

5 – Presenting the French Duck à l’Orange

AprĂšs ça, tu peux dresser de jolies assiettes en prĂ©sentant les magrets dĂ©coupĂ©s en petite tranches avec un peu de sauce et quelques tranches d’orange. GĂ©nĂ©ralement, avec ce plat, je propose du gratin dauphinois ou des carottes Vichy, les deux peuvent ĂȘtre prĂ©parĂ©s l’aprĂšs-midi????

After that, you can dress up nice plates with the duck cut in small slices with some sauce and a few slices of orange. Typically, I combine this dish with some “gratin dauphinois” or some carrots “à la Vichy”, both of which can be prepared in the afternoon! ????

– Tu vas voir, c’est trùs bon!
– Et si facileet rapide ! rĂ©pond Jonelle.

– You’ll see, it tastes delicious.
– And so quick and easy! Jonelle answers

Bon appétit!
