Ingredients
- 1 Long Island duck, about 5 to 6 pounds
- Salt and pepper
- Hoisin Baste, recipe follows
- 2 oranges, halved
- 1 bunch scallions, cut into 3-inch pieces and soaked in ice water
- 8 Chinese pancakes or 6-inch flour tortillas, warmed
- Peanut oil for drizzling
Directions
One day before you grill the duck, set the duck on a baking rack set over a baking sheet and store in the refrigerator uncovered to dry.
Heat grill to medium heat and set up rotisserie. Season duck with salt and pepper and skewer it onto the rotisserie rod. Place a drip pan under the duck to catch the rendered fat. Once the fat had begun to render off the duck, brush with the Hoisin Baste every 10 minutes. Cook the duck for 1 to 1 1/2 hours for medium-rare doneness. Remove from the grill and brush with more of the baste. Let the duck rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thin slices.
Drizzle the oranges with peanut oil, Place oranges on the grill, flesh side down and grill until golden brown. Remove from the grill and cut each 1/2 into 1/4's.
Drain scallions. Place Hoisin Baste, 2 slices of duck and scallions onto each pancake. Squeeze grilled orange over the meat, roll and eat.
Hoisin Baste:
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil
- 1 large red onion, coarsely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 1-inch piece peeled ginger, coarsely chopped
- 2 cups diced plum tomatoes
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon chile paste
- Salt
Heat oil in a medium saucepan on side burners or on the grates of the grill. Add onions, garlic and ginger and cook until soft. Add remaining ingredients and season with salt. Cook until the tomatoes cook down, about 25 to 30 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the sauce to the saucepan and cook until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.

Sounds like a gimme, but for the tremendous amount of trouble to make the hoisin baste and apply it, added to the difficult nature of duck itself (as compared to, say, chicken, you'd better already have a serious affinity for duck over some other kind of meat. The baste is good, but it is pretty labor intensive and in the end the dinner was merely OK. And I followed the recipe to the T. I would suggest the same baste, but on something else, like chicken or pork.

My husband and I were anxious to try out the rotisserie on the new grill and thought duck would be a great option for the maiden voyage. This recipe is super easy, the sauce was really tasty, and it made for a great Christmas dinner that we didn't have to fuss over. The grilled oranges add a festive aroma. We added grilled mushrooms, yellow squash, and yellow and orange peppers basted with a little of the sauce to round out the meal.
