ROASTED DUCK WITH DRESSING



Roasted Duck with Dressing image

This is a winner - my recipe allows you to prove that Duck is not Greasy. I love it around the holidays and just fixed it for my birthday dinner instead of going out because I love it. I have won over new people to duck with this recipe because it delivers on flavor and is juicy, but never greasy.

Provided by Jody Simon

Categories     Roasts

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5-6 lb duck
1 pkg bread - broken into pieces
1 medium red onion - chopped
1/2 c celery - chopped
sage to taste
salt and pepper to taste
1 c chicken broth, low salt

Steps:

  • 1. Night before - Thaw Duck if Frozen and break up the bread and place it in a mixing bowl to dry, add the onion, celery, sage, salt and pepper to the bread.
  • 2. Preheat Oven to 375 degrees. Clean Duck and remove giblets then place in a large stock pan with enough water to cover and broil until you see a fair amount of the fat and oils come to the top of the water, skim off and remove duck from the water and place in a large roasting pan.
  • 3. Wet the dressing with just enough chicken broth to make barely moist. The dressing will get additional moisture from the duck and if you make it too wet, it will be soggy. Stuff the duck with the dressing and place any extra around the outside of the duck.
  • 4. Place the cover on the roasting pan and place duck in the oven at 375 degrees for about 2 and a half hours for a 6 pound duck. You can tell when the duck is ready because it should fall off the bone easily and be tender and juicy, but definitely not greasy. Serve and Enjoy!

ROAST DUCK



Roast Duck image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (5 to 5 1/2 pounds each) ducks, innards and wing tips removed
6 quarts chicken broth
Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Unwrap the ducks and allow them to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. With a fork, prick the skin without piercing the meat. This will allow the fat to drain off while the ducks cook.
  • Meanwhile, in a very large stock pot which can hold the 2 ducks, heat the chicken broth with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt until it boils. Add the ducks very carefully and bring the stock back to a boil. If there isn't enough stock to cover the ducks, add the hottest tap water to cover. If the ducks float to the top, place a plate on top to keep them immersed. When the stock comes back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer the ducks in the stock for 45 minutes.
  • When the ducks are finished simmering, skim off enough duck fat from the top of the stock to pour a film on the bottom of a 14 by 18 by 3-inch roasting pan. This will keep the ducks from sticking when they roast. Carefully take the ducks out of the stock, holding them over the pot to drain. Place them in the roasting pan, pat the skin dry with paper towels, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper. If you have time, allow the ducks to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the skin to dry.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (Be sure your oven is very clean or it will smoke!) Roast the ducks for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to rest, covered with aluminum foil, for 20 minutes. Serve warm.

ROAST DUCK WITH OYSTER DRESSING



Roast Duck with Oyster Dressing image

Provided by Alton Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time P4DT3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

5 to 5 1/2 pound Pekin duck, giblets removed
3 teaspoons kosher salt per pound of duck, approximately 1/3 cup
1/4 cup duck fat
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound stale cornbread, crumbled
5 ounces oyster crackers, crumbled
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried sage
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 pint small oysters with their liquor

Steps:

  • Put the duck, breast side down, on a cutting board and using kitchen shears, cut up 1 side of the spine, starting at the tail or pope's nose, all the way to the top. Turn the bird around and cut back down the other side of the spine, being careful not to cut into the thigh. Press down on the bird to flatten and make a shallow cut through the breastbone to further flatten the duck. Remove the neck flap and any extra pockets of fat. Turn the duck over, breast side up, and make a long slash in the skin and fat of each breast, making sure not to puncture the meat.
  • Sprinkle both sides of the duck with the kosher salt and lay the duck, breast side up, on top of a broiler pan. Line the bottom of the pan with paper towels. Put the duck, uncovered, on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or until the skin is dry and reaches a near parchment consistency.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • If there is still salt visible, brush it off. Remove the paper towels from the bottom of the pan. Put the pan in the middle of the oven and roast for 30 minutes. Rotate the pan 180 degrees and continue to cook until the thigh reaches an internal temperature of 180 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 30 more minutes.
  • Remove the duck from the oven and increase the heat to 450 degrees F. Once the oven has come to temperature, return the duck to the oven and roast until the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the top of the broiler pan, with the duck still on it, and put it on a sheet pan to rest. Pour off the duck fat from the bottom of the pan, measure 1/4 cup, and reserve the rest for another use.
  • Decrease the oven heat to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the broiler pan on the stove over medium heat and add the 1/4 cup of the fat. Add the onions, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions and celery are translucent, approximately 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the cornbread, oyster crackers, thyme, sage, eggs, oysters and their liquor in a large mixing bowl and use your hands to mix well, breaking up the oysters as you go. Add the onion and celery mixture to the bowl and stir to combine. Transfer the dressing back into the broiler pan and spread evenly. Put the dressing on the middle rack of the oven and bake until golden brown and crisp around the edges, about 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the duck to a serving platter and serve with the dressing.
