Duck can be cooked boiled, fried, stewed or baked. The most important thing is to choose the right temperature and cooking time so that the finished dish is soft and juicy. If you decide to roast the whole duck, often sprinkle the duck with water or stock as you roast it. Try to cook baked duck with oranges - its taste will not leave you indifferent.
It is necessary
-
- duck;
- 2 apples;
- 2 oranges;
- 1 head of garlic;
- 30 g olive oil;
- a set of spices "for chicken";
- a set of seasonings "for chicken";
- salt;
- ground red pepper;
- black pepper.
Instructions
Step 1
Before roasting the duck in the oven, marinate the duck. Prepare the marinade. To do this, pour olive oil into a deep container (cup or plate), add one teaspoon of salt, spices and seasonings.
Step 2
Finely grate half the cloves from a whole head of garlic. Add the garlic to the oil.
Step 3
Mix thoroughly until smooth.
Step 4
Cut the orange into quarters. Squeeze the juice directly into the marinade. Mix everything again and leave to infuse for ten minutes. The marinade is ready.
Step 5
Start marinating the duck. Wash the duck well outside and inside, remove the insides. Next, dry the duck with a paper towel. Do not pickle wet duck, as the pickle will not be absorbed into it.
Step 6
Place the duck in a large bag and coat the outside and inside with the marinade. The poultry carcass must be completely covered with marinade.
Step 7
Then wrap the duck in a bag and leave to marinate.
Step 8
While the duck is marinating, you need to prepare the filling.
Step 9
Cut the offal of the duck into small pieces.
Step 10
Cut the remaining cloves of garlic into small pieces.
Step 11
Wash the apples, peel, cut into four parts. Core and cut the apples into 2cm cubes and add to the minced garlic and offal. Also add a teaspoon of chicken seasoning and some red pepper. Mix the whole filling well. The filling is ready.
Step 12
Stuff the duck with the filling. The belly of the duck must be sewn up with threads or secured with toothpicks.
Step 13
Next, wrap the duck again in a bag with marinade and leave for three hours.
Step 14
Then start cooking the duck in the oven. Place several layers of foil on a baking sheet, and the foil should be longer than the size of the baking sheet.
Step 15
Cut the second orange into rings. Place five orange rings on the foil. This is to prevent the duck from burning.
Step 16
Place the duck with its back on the oranges. Cut off the rind from the rest of the orange rings and place on top of the carcass.
Step 17
Wrap the duck in foil. Take care not to tear the foil.
Step 18
Place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to 220 degrees. Bake the duck at this temperature for thirty minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 150 degrees and bake for another 2 - 2, 5 hours. The baking time depends on the power of your oven, so adjust the time and temperature yourself.
Step 19
After two hours, unfold the duck on top and bake without foil. Sprinkle the fat on the duck every ten minutes to create a crispy crust.
Step 20
Place the finished duck on a large serving dish and garnish with herbs. Serve baked potatoes to complement the dish. Bon Appetit!
