Best Roast Lemon Pepper Duck With Honey Lemon Sauce Recipes

DUCK WITH HONEY, SOY, AND GINGER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Use a sharp knife to score across the duck breasts 4 times through the skin and fat but just barely to the meat. Rub the skin with salt, cayenne, and black pepper.
• Preheat an ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Lay the breasts in the skillet skin-side down and fry until the skin is brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Use a spoon to carefully discard any excess fat from the bottom of the skillet. Turn the breasts over and cook for 1 minute.
• Place the skillet into the preheated oven and roast until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breasts reach 160 degrees F (71 degrees C) for well done, or the breasts reach desired doneness.
• Remove the duck breasts from the skillet and cover with foil. Set aside to rest. Pour off excess fat from the skillet. Place the stock, honey, soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, tomato sauce, chili powder, and lime juice in the skillet. Whisk the sauce over high heat, bring to a boil and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Slice the duck breasts thinly, arrange on serving plates, and pour the sauce over the top.

• In a small bowl, combine the wine, honey, lemon juice, mustard and chili paste. Set aside.
• Rinse the duck and cut down the center of the back, to butterfly. Pat dry. Pierce skin several times with a metal skewer. (this helps drain fat as it cooks). Season with some of the salt and pepper.
• Place the celery, onion and carrot in the bottom of the roasting pan. Place rack over the vegetables and arrange the duck on the rack, skin side up. Place in oven.
• After 20 minutes, baste with the honey-chili mixture. Roast for a total of 1 1/2 to 2 hours, basting every 15 minutes.
• Remove the duck from the oven, place on a platter and keep warm.
• Combine the orange juice and cornstarch. Set aside.
• Strain the pan juices into a saucepan. Discard vegetables.
• Bring to a simmer, adding any leftover baste. Thicken with the cornstarch mixture and season with salt and pepper.
• Cut duck into pieces (legs, thighs, breasts and wings).
• Serve the duck with the sauce on the side.

OVEN ROASTED PORK SHOULDER RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, olive oil, and mustard.
• Rub seasoning mixture on all sides of the pork roast.
• Place a rack inside a roasting pan and place roast covered in rub on top of the rack.
• Cook uncovered roast in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the top starts to slightly brown.
• Remove roast from oven and lower heat to 240 degrees.
• Pour chicken broth and liquid smoke over roast and add vegetables on top and around roast.
• Make a tent out of aluminum foil to put over the roast and return to the oven. Let the pork cook for 2 hours uninterrupted, but then start checking every hour or so and baste the roast with liquids from the bottom of the pan. Add more chicken broth to the pan if needed (you want liquid in the bottom the whole time so that the roast doesn't dry out).
• The cook time will vary based on the size of your roast and your oven, so that's why it's recommended to start checking and basting your roast hourly. As a guideline, here are some cooking times:4 lb roast: 3.5 - 5 hours5 lb roast: 4 - 5.5 hours6 lb roast: 4.5 - 6 hoursThe roast is done cooking when the internal temperature somewhere between 175-180 degrees.
• Remove the roast from the oven, but keep the aluminum foil tent on top and let the roast rest for 15-20 minutes.
• Slice or shred the pork (it should almost be falling apart at this point) and then drizzle with some of the pan juices.
• We love to serve it with some type of potatoes, corn bread casserole, and a vegetable. Enjoy!
