I have always considered duck to be both financially and culinarily out of reach. I've had it many times in restaurants but never cooked duck at home. At $2.99/lb, with a solid plan, this will change. After all, this is 2014.
I used Alton's recipe as a guide and deviated by using 2 cups orange juice and 2 cups blood orange juice instead of pineapple orange juice in the brine.
The fat was separated from the water used to steam the duck pieces. The Pommes Frite were fried in the liquid gold along with kosher salt, ground black pepper, onion and garlic powder, and Herbes de Province.
The sauce, which was nothing more than the package pulled from the duck cavity when thawed, was plated under the duck. The sauce was actually better than expected. In fact, it was excellent! LOL
The meat was tender, moist and delicious. The Pommes superb. This was an excellent meal that I will definitely do again.
