Duck Marylands With Orange Sauce Recipe

Recipe By Slurrp

Duck Marylands with Orange Sauce is a classic French dish that combines tender and juicy duck legs with a tangy and flavorful orange sauce. The duck legs are first seared to render the fat and then roasted to perfection, resulting in crispy skin and succulent meat. The orange sauce is made by reducing orange juice with a touch of honey and adding a hint of thyme for a fragrant and citrusy flavor. This dish is a perfect balance of richness and brightness, making it a delightful choice for a special occasion or a fancy dinner party.
