Pan fried duck breast
One of my Dad’s favourite meals is some duck breast. This duck breast with orange sauce recipe is very easy to make and is really delicious.

The orange sauce recipe for this meal is really tasty and you can also make it to accompany chicken if you wish.
Orange is a great accompaniment to duck and you will find them used together a lot.
Duck a l’orange or canard a l’orange (in French) is a well-known combination of duck and orange.
Although the dish is now thought to be French, the Italians, of course, claim it originated in Italy.
I will not go further into that, except to say that whoever came up with this combination was brilliant!
The nice thing about this duck gravy is that it requires very little preparation and is quickly on the table.
The duck breast also does not take long to cook so you can produce this meal in less than 15 minutes.
What to serve with duck breast?
Really any vegetable that takes your fancy. Here I served up with some crispy roast potatoes and baked carrots with garlic (these take longer to cook, of course).
But you may also like to try with some mashed potatoes or even some honey roast parsnips.
Have a look on my sides page for some other ideas.
You may have to coordinate the timing of the cooking of the accompanying vegetables, depending on what you choose to serve with it.
We are very lucky that we can pick up a few breasts of fresh duck here in our local Aldi for only about 3,50 Euros so we can produce this meal very cheaply.
If you are in the US, and you need some Canadian duck breast to try this recipe, why not try ordering from Meat n’ Bone, Premium Quality Meats, Hand-delivered To Your Door , below?

This is really a mix between pan-fried duck breast and roast duck breast as the same pan goes into the oven to finish off the meat.
I hope you enjoy trying this recipe. Please let me know how you get on in the comments section below!
