I went looking for inspiration for my duck I bought for dinner. Eventually I found it on the bag the duck came in! Ingredients:
1 (2 kg) duck |
40 g maple syrup |
60 g honey |
20 g dijon mustard |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
100 ml orange juice |
100 ml balsamic vinegar |
10 g garlic |
40 ml orange liqueur or 40 ml port wine |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 190c.
2. Mix all the ingredients (except the duck!) together in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Reserve 1/4 of the glaze.
4. Sit the duck on a rack over a baking dish, baste and place in oven.
5. Baste the duck every 10 minutes throughout the cooking process with remaining 3/4 of glaze.
6. A 2kg duck should take about 1 hour 15 minutes to cook, but give one of his legs a pull, and if it moves freely and any juices run clear, your duck will be cooked.
7. Place on a serving platter brush with reserved glaze and serve.
8. Pass any remaining reserved glaze to be spooned over carved duck.
