Time 2h30m

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 4-to-6-pound duck
1/2 cup peeled and halved baby onions
1/2 cup chopped carrots
2 tablespoons butter, cut into cubes
1/2 teaspoon dried savory, sage or thyme
Salt and pepper
6 thick slices bacon
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cups whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the duck giblets. If you choose, chop and sauté the giblets and set them aside to toss into the gravy later.
  • Prick the duck's skin with a fork. Rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Twist the wing tips under the back and place the duck, breast side up, on a rack set in a roasting pan. Stuff onions, carrots and butter into the cavity. Sprinkle the duck all over with the dried herbs and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Lay bacon slices crosswise over the breast. Roast duck in the oven until the internal temperature reaches 180 degrees, 11/2 to 2 hours.
  • Place duck on a serving platter and tent with foil. Remove vegetables from cavity. (Check to see if the vegetables are edible. If still raw, microwave until tender and feed to the dogs.)
  • Prepare the gravy by pouring off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Place the pan over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon, scrape up the burned bits stuck to the bottom and then sprinkle with the flour. Cook, stirring, to toast the flour, about 3 minutes. Add the milk and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. If too thick, loosen with water. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

I followed the recipe but the duck came out a little dry. I think I should have cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

This roast duck recipe was a hit with my family! The duck was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The glaze was flavorful and caramelized perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
