INGREDIENTS
4 portions
1 whole duck (without giblets)
7 oranges
1 apple
½ onion
2 sprigs thyme
2 sprigs marjoram
2 tbsp honey
100 ml chicken stock
1 shallot
2 tbsp sugar
80 ml red wine
80 ml Port wine
1 tsp black peppercorn
1½ tsp coriander seeds
60 g unsalted butter (cold)

Cornstarch for thickening
Peel and finely dice an orange, the apple, and the onion and set aside. Slice two other oranges and set aside. Wash the duck with cold water inside and out and pat dry with paper towels. Preheat the oven to 180°C Circo Roasting.
Rub the duck with salt and fill the belly with the diced apple, onion, and orange, and full sprigs of thyme and marjoram. Place it in a baking dish and add orange slices. Transfer to the oven and roast for approx. 1.5 hours on shelf level 2.
Whisk together honey and chicken stock and regularly baste the duck with this mixture while it’s baking. When cooked through, remove the duck from the roasting pan and drain the duck drippings from the pan into a small bowl. Keep the duck warm in the oven at 60°C while preparing the sauce.
