From Emeril Lagasse, this is a great duck recipe. The citrus aroma fills the kitchen while it's cooking. The skin is crisp, and the duck is moist and tender.
Ingredients:
3 oranges
2 lemons
3 tablespoons coarsely-cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons salt
5 lbs duck, whole
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Zest oranges and lemons and chop zest finely.
3. Squeeze juice from oranges and lemons.
4. In a small bowl combine zest, juice, pepper and salt.
5. Rub duck, inside and out, with all of the citrus-pepper mixture.
6. In a roasting pan set duck on a vertical roaster and cook about 2 1/2 hours, or until well-browned and crispy.
7. Let rest, loosely covered with foil, 10 minutes before carving.
