Duck breast stuffed with orange slices is an exquisite dish of Russian cuisine, combining tender meat and citrus freshness. Since ancient times, duck has held an honorable place on festive tables, and the addition of oranges gives the flavor extraordinary depth. The caramelized skin soaked in spice juices creates a delicious crispy crust, while the orange slices provide juiciness and a slight tang. This dish is perfect for special occasions, impressing guests with a harmonious balance of sweetness and spices. It pairs excellently with light side dishes and fresh green salads, highlighting the richness of the flavor bouquet.
