When you're in the mood for something rich and flavorful, try this wild duck rubbed with light seasoning and stuffed with apples, celery and onion. Ingredients:
1 (4 pound) whole duck |
salt and pepper to taste |
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/2 tablespoon butter |
3 tablespoons chopped onion |
5 stalks celery, chopped |
3 cups peeled, cored and chopped apple |
3 cups cornbread crumbs |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
Directions:
1. Rinse duck and pat dry; rub with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.
2. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and celery in butter until tender. In a medium bowl, combine with apple and cornbread crumbs. Mix together to make dressing (if necessary, add a little water to moisten).
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Fill the duck's cavity with dressing, and sew shut with kitchen twine. Rub outside of bird lightly with olive oil, and place in a shallow roasting pan or 9x13 inch baking dish.
5. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 80 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C.)
