Cooking

Here such a beauty I gave sister through dotsyu. I wanted to cook a duck, but my favorite all time told me that he does not like duck, because it is hard. And now this unexpected happiness! In General, I decided to prove to him that the duck can be prepared so that it is very gentle.

And for this it needs to be marinated. To prepare the marinade, peel the garlic.

Press garlic press.

Combine together garlic, dried rosemary, thyme, freshly ground black pepper, 1.5 tsp. salt.

Add the vegetable oil.

Squeeze from one orange juice. It is important to avoid getting the seeds in the marinade.

All mix well. The marinade is ready.

Duck carefully examined for remnants of feathers. Remove them with tweezers or opalite over the fire. Because the duck skin is thick enough to ensure that our she (the duck) is well marinated, it is necessary to puncture the skin with a wooden skewer in several places.

Duck sent in a plastic bag.

Daubed it with marinade inside and outside. Tying the package, and well-being shaken to the marinade better spread over the duck. Put it in the fridge for 6-8 hours or overnight.

When the duck is marinated, prepare the apples. Cut them from the middle. Cut each into approximately 16 slices. Pour them with lemon juice.

Duck take out of the package. Strain the remaining marinade and set aside until the side. Possible blotted the marinade with the skins. It is necessary that the garlic and herbs didn't burn in the baking process. Duck stuff with apples. I, despite recommendations from the highly tight not to cram, stuffed heartily, since I love baked with meat or poultry apples. Sewn on the belly skin my ducks really sold, but I'm not too upset, because I have plenty then enjoyed baked apples. You decide for yourself what to do. But the duck even with raspahnis belly looked quite nice.

Sew up the belly with thread or secured with toothpicks.

Pull the skin from the neck back.

To wings burnt, pin them to the body using toothpicks.

On a baking sheet put foil several layers. Put the duck. Wrap the ends of legs with foil. Wrap the bird in foil. Send the duck in a preheated high oven and cook at 220-230 degrees for 30 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 160-180 degrees and bake for 1.5 hours.

Now, remember earlier about the strained marinade. Add 2 tsp of honey and mix well.

As soon as 1.5 hours after the reduction of the fire, unfold the foil. Merge part of the emitted from the duck juice. Leave a little to stand, to rise up excess fat.

Bake the duck for another 30-40 minutes until Browning. Periodically pour juice and oil marinade with honey in order to form a lacquered crust.

In the meantime, prepare the sweet and sour cranberry sauce. With the cast of "juice" from duck, remove the top fat. It will be about half of the "juice".

Add to the cranberry honey.

Mash it using tolkushkoy for potatoes.

Mix with juice from the duck and proverjaem 5 minutes.

Then sprinkle with salt. Season with freshly ground black pepper, thyme, rosemary. Three zubochka garlic press with a knife and also add to the sauce. Cook for another 10 minutes. For a couple of minutes before the end of cooking add the remaining marinade with honey, which we greased duck.

Longer pass on the sauce in a blender until smooth.

And the sauce is ready!

How, in fact, a duck!

Incredibly flavorful and quite tender!

Bon appetit!
