Thai Roast Duck in Soy and Marmalade!

The onset of a new year spells some well deserved merriment. Roast meat and wine would be the unbeatable combination. But most importantly, spend the first day of a new year thankful for everything that has made the last year wonderful. 


Ingredients

1) 3 tbsp soy sauce
2) 3 tbsp Orange marmalade
3) 1 tbsp red chili powder
4) 2 tbsp Orange juice
5) A medium sized duck with skin

Recipe

1) Refrigerate the duck in 1.2 liter water with 4 tbsp salt, overnight.
2) Neatly carve the duck into 6-8 pieces. Prick the skin allover, with a fork. Pour boiling water over the duck pieces and let it rest for 2 minutes. Pat the duck dry. This ensures that the skin shrivels a little and crackles in the oven, easily!
2) In a roasting pan slather the duck pieces properly with the soy, marmalade, chili powder and 2 tsp salt. Pour the orange juice in the pan. Don't pour the juice over the duck as the soy marmalade will wash away.
3) Bake in a preheated oven(200 C) for 25-30 minutes. The duck is ready!
4) Reduce the juice that remains in the roasting pan with 3 tbsp Orange juice and 1 tbsp red chili powder. Serve your roast duck with the Jus and some good Merlot!
