Duck stewed with oranges
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. In my opinion, the combination of duck and oranges is simply perfect—they seem made for each other. I enjoy baking duck with oranges, as well as stewing it in a casserole. Today, I decided to stew duck for dinner. I always serve it with mashed potatoes, which is very delicious, but any porridge, pasta, or vegetables would also go well. For cooking duck stewed with oranges, I took half a duck carcass and cut it into 5-6 pieces. You can buy duck already cut into pieces, which might even be cheaper. Here, only half carcasses are sold. The dish is ready to be served.

Step 2
Cut the duck into roughly equal pieces; I ended up with 6 pieces. Place the duck pieces in a single layer on a frying pan with heated vegetable oil and sear on all sides until golden brown. I fried in two batches to ensure the meat was seared rather than stewed.
