BRAISED CHILE-MARMALADE DUCK LEGS WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Place duck legs on a rimmed baking sheet; season all over with 2 tsp. salt. Chill, uncovered, at least 8 hours and up to 2 days.
• Place rack in middle of oven; preheat to 325°F. Heat oil in a large ovenproof high-sided skillet over medium. Arrange duck legs in pan, skin side down, and cook until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Turn over and cook until browned on the other side, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and transfer duck legs to a 2-qt. baking dish (any size or shape will work as long as the legs don't overlap more than slightly). Tuck orange wedges around duck. Pour duck fat from pan into a heatproof container and set aside. Reserve skillet.
• Set reserved skillet over medium heat and pour in wine, scraping up any browned bits from bottom with a wooden spoon. Add marmalade and stir until melted and combined. Add chiles, stock, 1 Tbsp. rosemary, and 1½ tsp. salt. Cook just until mixture begins to steam, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour half of marmalade mixture (about 1½ cups) over duck legs, then pour the rest into a heatproof measuring glass and set aside. Reserve skillet. Cover baking dish with foil or an ovenproof lid and bake 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine brussels sprouts, 2 Tbsp. reserved duck fat (if you don't have enough, make up the difference with oil), remaining 1 Tbsp. rosemary, remaining ½ tsp. salt, and 1 Tbsp. water in reserved skillet. Toss sprouts to coat.
• When duck had cooked 1 hour 15 minutes, slide brussels sprouts onto rack alongside duck and uncover baking dish. Roast brussels sprouts and duck legs 30 minutes.
• Increase oven temperature to 425°F and shake skillet with brussels sprouts to turn them. Continue to roast until duck skin is deep golden brown and meat is very tender and brussels sprouts are charred in spots and tender, about 15 minutes longer.
• Transfer duck legs to a platter. Using a slotted spoon, transfer brussels sprouts and oranges (they're delicious and we highly recommend eating them, peel and all, but you can discard if you prefer) to platter, arranging around duck legs.
• Combine braising liquid from duck and remaining reserved marmalade mixture in skillet and bring to a boil over high heat (be careful; the handle will be hot!), whisking occasionally, until sauce is glossy and reduced to about 1¼ cups, about 10 minutes.
• Spoon some sauce over duck and brussels sprouts. Pour remaining sauce into a small bowl and serve alongside.

PAN ROASTED DUCK BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Season the entire duck breast with Essence. In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the duck breast, skin side down. Sear for 6 minutes. Flip the duck breast over and place the pan in the oven. Roast the breasts for 8 to 10 minutes for medium rare. Remove the pan from the oven and allow the duck breasts to rest 2 to 3 minutes before slicing. Slice each duck breast, on the bias, into 1/2-inch pieces. Serve the duck with the Foie Gras Bread Pudding.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

PAN ROASTED DUCK BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• With a sharp knife score the fat of the duck breasts in a criss-cross pattern. Season the duck with salt and pepper. Warm a heavy bottomed ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
• Place the duck breasts, fat side down, in the skillet to render off the fat, about 6 minutes. Reserve rendered duck fat. Turn the duck breasts over and sear for 1 minute. Turn the fat side down again and place the skillet into the oven to roast for 7 to 9 minutes, until breasts are medium rare. Let the duck breasts rest for 5 minutes then thinly slice.
• Grate the potatoes and squeeze out excess liquid using your hands. Toss the potatoes with the melted butter, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of duck fat in a 6-inch cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Press some of the potato mixture into the hot pan to make a 1/4-inch thick cake. Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the rosti is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the rosti in the pan and add more duck fat. Continue cooking until golden and crisp. Place the finished rosti onto an unlined baking sheet and continue cooking the rest of the potato mixture. Reheat rosti in a 400 degree F oven for 10 minutes.
• Combine the brown sugar, raspberry vinegar, red wine vinegar, and white wine vinegar in a medium pot. Place over medium-low heat and stir to dissolve the brown sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes.
• Add the blueberries, onion, green peppercorns, lemon juice, and ginger. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
• The chutney will keep for several weeks stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.

ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH A POMEGRANATE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Position the baking rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425[dg]F. In a large bowl, toss the brussels sprouts with oil and a few pinches of salt. Spread the brussels sprouts over a shallow baking pan and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sprouts are lightly browned and crispy.
• While the brussels sprouts are roasting, in a small saucepan combine the pomegranate juice with the sugar and set over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. When the liquid comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to medium-low and gently simmer until the liquid is reduced to one quarter of the original amount and is thick and syrupy, about 25 minutes. Toward the end, watch the reduction carefully - it can go from thick to burned in a matter of seconds. Transfer the reduction to a cooling rack and let it come to room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
• Drizzle the reduction over the brussels sprouts and sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds.

PAN-ROASTED BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• To prepare the Brussels sprouts, remove any tough leaves from the outside, trim the ends, and cut in half lengthwise. Cut lemon wedges for the fresh lemon juice. Heat a very large, heavy-bottomed (preferably cast-iron) sauté pan over medium high heat. Drizzle in the olive oil. Add the sprouts to the pan, cut side down, in a single, uncrowded layer (work in batches if they won't all fit at once). Continue to cook the sprouts until they begin to brown and caramelize.
• Add the chorizo to the sprouts. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Continue to cook the sprouts until they are slightly softened and bright green, but still have bite to them. Add ¼ cup of the chicken stock. Stir the sprouts and cook until the stock evaporates. Add another ¼ cup of stock, and keep cooking and adding stock until the sprouts soften more but are still al dente. Squeeze in the fresh lemon juice. Season with salt, to taste.
• Once the sprouts are cooked, remove from the heat and scoop them into a deep serving bowl. Garnish with the freshly chopped parsley (or herb of your choice) and serve.
