Bright, citrusy, and undeniably elegant, duck a l'orange is a classic worth the wait. The bird roasts slowly with aromatics until the meat turns meltingly tender, then a glossy sauce built from fresh orange juice and savory pan drippings ties it all together. Finished with orange slices, it is the show-stopping roast to bring out when you want to celebrate something.
