This elegant dish of seared duck breasts with blood oranges is a wonderful way to enjoy the short but spectacular citrus season. The recipe focuses on traditional techniques, allowing the duck skin to render slowly until perfectly crisp, which provides a rich contrast to the sharp, vibrant acidity of the fruit. By using the natural fat of the bird to cook the shallots and create a glossy pan sauce, you achieve a deep, savoury flavour that perfectly complements the colourful segments.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this recipe prioritises lean protein and fresh fruit over heavy carbohydrates. The bitter notes of the frisée lettuce provide a crisp base that balances the sweetness of the blood oranges. It makes for an impressive dinner party main or a special midweek treat that is both light and satisfying, ensuring you can enjoy a gourmet homemade meal while keeping health goals in mind.

Ingredients for Seared Duck Breasts with Blood Oranges
2 medium duck breasts
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 blood oranges
1 shallot, chopped
2 tablespoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Frisée (for serving)
How to make Seared Duck Breasts with Blood Oranges
Score skin of duck breasts; season with salt and pepper. Place skin side down in a cold medium skillet; cook over low heat until fat is rendered and skin is dark golden, 12–15 minutes. Turn duck, increase heat to medium, and cook 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
Meanwhile, cut peel and white pith from oranges. Cut along sides of membranes to release segments into a medium bowl.
Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet. Add shallot, vinegar, and half of orange segments. Season with salt and simmer until thick, about 4 minutes. Thinly slice duck and serve over frisée with pan sauce and remaining segments.
