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.

I wasn't sure how I would like the olives in this recipe, but I was pleasantly surprised. They added a nice briny flavor that complemented the duck perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly and my duck turned out perfect. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender and flavorful. I served it with roasted potatoes and green beans, and it was a delicious meal.
