With two oranges, peel is removed, then two more are added, juice is squeezed out. In a small saucepan, it combines with an incomplete glass of white loose and unsweetened wine and the same volume of broth (it is better to take chicken or cooked from a duck). After boiling, lay down three tablespoons of good honey (you can substitute sugar, but there will not be that flavor). In the smallest fire, the sauce is simmered until it evaporates in half.

In a dry well heated pan fry the fillets for ten minutes from each side, then from it is selected the accumulated fat and poured half a glass of soy sauce. As soon as it boils, in half a minute the fillets are turned over, and after the same period of time, the fire is completely turned off. The frying pan is left on the stove for about ten minutes. Finally, the fillet is divided in half, shifted to a languishing gravy, and the duck breast with orange sauce warms up in a full set for about three minutes. When served, it is sprinkled with zest and eaten immediately.

Breast in a multivark

The beginning of their preparation in this apparatus is similar to cooking on a conventional stove. The fillet salted and peppered. Then it is laid out in a preheated bowl with lean oil skinned down and fried in baking mode for about a quarter of an hour.

While they are languishing (and this will take about a third of an hour), juice is squeezed out of one orange, and half of the second is cut-each one in half.

To them, the juice of the remaining half of the citrus is squeezed out and a spoonful of sparse honey is added along with the marinade fused to the fillet and another spoonful of cognac. In ten minutes the sauce is ready. Duck breast in orange sauce for a few minutes "rests" from the oven and is served to the table already poured with gravy, cut obliquely, with apples around it.
