Duck Recipe
Duck Recipe – Roasted Duck
It is a lot of work, but sometimes it is worth it to completely pluck a duck and use it to roast, especially if it has been a fruitful morning in the duck boat. The flavor can be excellent if cooked right and is pretty easy to prepare. Here is the recipe that I use:
Roasted Duck:
Ingredients:
1 Large Duck (Mallard or similar)
1 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
1/2 Tteaspoon Pepper
1 Apple (peel, core and cut into half inch pieces)
1 Onion (halve)
3 Strips Bacon
1/4 Cup Dry Red Wine
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Sprinkle half of the seasoned salt on the inside of the bird. Sprinkle the remainder of the seasoned salt and the pepper. Place apple and onion inside the duck. Line a roasting pan with aluminum foil and place bird in the pan. Place the bacon strips across the top of the duck and then pout the wine over the duck. Place in oven uncovered and baste occaisonally with the drippings from the duck. Cooking time depends on your preference, but is between 20 minutes (rare) and 40 minutes (well done). I normally don't eat the apple or onion on the inside, but some people like the taste.
Give it a try after your next hunt! If nothing else it is always good to try new duck recipes to see if you like them.
