Heat the oven to 190 degrees. Place the duck breast down on the wire rack. Place in the oven and place a cup of water under it. During cooking, water must be added periodically. Cook the duck for 1 hour. Then turn it over and pour over the fat. Leave to bake for another 1 hour. After that, increase the temperature in the oven to 220 degrees and fry for another 30 minutes.
Step 3
Wash oranges. Juice two oranges, cut one orange into slices and peel the last one. Dissolve sugar in a saucepan, cool slightly and add vinegar and orange juice to it.
Step 4
Bring the resulting mixture to a boil and reduce by half. Then add the remaining duck fat after frying and bring to a boil. Then add butter, orange pulp, salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Put the finished duck on a large dish and pour over the resulting sauce. Decorate with orange slices and herbs.
