Zesty Duck
- 2 Duck breast
- 2 Meyer Lemons
- 1 Orange
- 2 tablespoons Fresh thyme or Lebanese Thyme
- Zest 2 lemons and 1 orange. Chop thyme finely and mix all ingredients together.
- Make 2 slits on each side of the breast between the skin and meat. Place your hand firmly over the skin and cut into the edge of breast. Try not to cut into the meat.
- Stuff zest and thyme mixture into the slits of the breast using half of the mixture. Insert your finger in the slit and move the mixture around covering as much area as possible. Use the remaining mixture to coat the entire breast and add pepper to taste. Refrigerate overnight or longer, not recommended to refrigerate more than 3 days.
- Remove meat from refrigerator and allow to sit until it has reached room temperature. Grill meat slightly undercooked about 5 minutes depending on the size of the breast. Do not grill directly over hot coals or the duck fat will start a fire, grill slightly to the side of the hot fire. When done allow to rest for 5-10 minutes depending on how you like your meat done.
- To serve cut into thin slices and serve with small oranges slices. Salt as desired.
