Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 duck, about 4 pounds
For the Sauce
2 cups homemade chicken stock
1 tbsp tomato purée, dried herbs, fennel seeds, bay leaf
2/3 cup pitted green olives

Steps:

  • This recipe yields a succulent roast duck, every morsel of which is tender and tasty, and as a by-product, a good half pint of duck fat. No cook worth her salt would waste a scrap of this precious substance, which is kept in a pot in the fridge and used for frying and flavoring.
  • Trim any flaps of fat on the duck, and pull out any lumps of fat tucked inside. Rinse and dry the duck, then prick lightly all over with a skewer (about 20-30 times), trying to pierce the skin but not the flesh underneath. Rub all over with salt and sprinkle some inside the cavity.
  • Put on a rack and roast upside down for 3 hours at 250° F (200° F convection). Drain the fat into a bowl, set the duck the right way up and increase the heat to 350° F (325° F convection) for 45 minutes longer, till nicely browned. Leave to stand for 15 minutes, loosely covered with foil.
  • Reduce the chicken stock with the tomato and herbs to a saucelike consistency, then strain into a clean pan. Simmer the olives in water for 2 minutes to temper the flavor, then strain and stir into the sauce.
  • Cut the duck into pieces and serve with the sauce.

Overall, this duck recipe was good, but not great. I think it could have been improved with a different type of brine and a shorter cooking time.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I think I'll stick to simpler duck recipes in the future.

The duck was cooked well, but the olives were a bit too overpowering. I would have preferred a more subtle flavor profile.

This duck dish was a bit too salty for my taste. The olives were a nice touch, but I think I would have preferred a different type of brine.

Not a fan. The duck was dry and tough, and the olives were overpowering. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I'm a novice cook, but this recipe was easy to follow and the results were amazing. The duck was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the olives added a nice flavor contrast. Definitely a keeper!
