Potato Stuffed Duck with Honey Glaze
These ducks are stuffed with a potato and onion stuffing, and they're basted with a lemon and honey mixture as they roast.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
Total Time: 2 hour 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 ducks
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 medium onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup celery stalks and leaves, chopped
- 4 cups potatoes, peeled and parboiled, cubed
- 2 teaspoons dried leaf thyme
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- parsley
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions:
Rinse
the ducks inside and out with hot tap water; pat dry. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil; saute the onions
and celery for about 5 minutes, then add the diced
potatoes, the thyme, and a little salt and freshly ground pepper
to taste.
Turn the potatoes occasionally and when they are lightly brown, add the parsley. Spoon the
stuffing mixture into the 2 duck cavities. Place the ducks on
a rack in a
shallow roasting pan and put in preheated 375° oven for 1 1/2
hours; remove all fat and discard.
Mix the lemon juice with the honey, and
baste the
ducks several times with the lemon-honey glaze as you roast them
an
additional 20 minutes. The ducks should be golden brown and the
drumsticks
will turn easily in their sockets when the done.
Serves 4 to 6.
