Roasted Duck With Green Apples (Something For A Special Occasion)

in #food8 years ago (edited)

Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time.”
― Confucius

I love cooking almost as much as I love to eat. If you follow me, you would notice some dozen recipes posted in my blog already. I have many recipes with chicken, turkey and pork. Today's recipe is something very special. Roasted Duck With Green Apples―some great taste and flavor guaranteed with little effort.

Ingredients

  • Duck;
  • 4-5 Green winter apples (the smaller the better);
  • Salt.

(I’ve seen some recipes with garlic, pepper, paprika, onions, celery, plums and many other ingredients, but in my humble opinion, duck has it's own very rich taste and flavor, so actually there is no need in these. I would love to read your comments about the matter!)

Directions

Rinse the duck and dry it with a paper towel. Prick fat places with a knife or a skewer. Season the duck generously with salt and put some good amount inside.
Wash the apples, cut them in halves, core them and put inside the duck.

Sew up the duck (or fix the opening with tooth picks or wooden skewers), apply foil and put into a deep stew pan or a roasting pan.

Put into the oven preheated to 175C (350F).

It will take approximately two hours to get the duck done. It's fine, when it gets golden brown and somewhat crispy.
Also, it might sound as a good idea to pour the fat from the duck on top (really depends on how you like it).
In two hours take the duck out and serve with your favorit garnish (it's lovely with rice).
Note: It's just great with chilled red wine!

Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.

Yep, thanks for your comment :D

When I grow up, I wanna be able to have posts like these! Beautiful pics. I can smell that duck juice with the apple accent.

You must be kidding! Your posts are incredibly delicious :D
Thanks for your comment!

Wow... this looks interestingly good. Never have such end product before.

Thank you! Try this one, you won't regret :D

You're welcome

Hey man, this roasted duck looks delicious. I might try one because grilling is just no fun atm with all the rain and wind we are having in the Netherlands. The apple idea I think is really interesting. I need to try this.

Yeah man, the same problem here, not much fun to have bbq outside currently.
I've bookmarked your recipe though to grill a duck when I will have an opportunity:

Agreed with you that this one is a very important step when cooking bbq:

Make yourself comfortable and open your first beer of the day. This is an important step.

Always doing it the same way :D
Try this recipe with the apples, tastes really good!

That is definitely a cold weather dish, @richman. I think it's even cold enough here to try it. How about using chicken instead of duck?

Agreed that it's a cold weather dish, usually ducks are cooked in autumn here.
Chicken is fine too, but apples actually will not help it. There is something special in a combination of a duck with winter green apples.
Cheers!

Thank you for posting @richman. This looks delicious...yes...the flavours would be good together, good thinking, as duck is very rich and has loads of flavour. This is on the menu. We appreciate your contribution to Steemit.
Al the best. Cheers.

Thank you for your comment @bleujay!
All the best to you too :D
Cheers!

After the duck is cooked are the apples to eat as well?

Yes, sure the apples are edible! Why not?
