Description
This wild duck recipe is a feast for the senses! I always make it when there's something special to celebrate. The duck becomes wonderfully tender and aromatic, thanks to the root vegetables and apples that are cooked in the cavity. The almond liqueur gives the sauce a fine, nutty note. The preparation takes a while, but the result is worth every minute. Traditionally served with dumplings and red cabbage. A dish that is guaranteed to impress!
Ingredients (10 ingredients)
-
1 x Mallard duck
-
1 Bündel Root vegetables
-
2 x Apple
-
1 Schuss Almond liqueur
-
1 Liter Duck stock
-
1 Stück Clarified butter
-
3 Zweig Thyme
-
nach Geschmack Salt
-
nach Geschmack Pepper
-
Sugar water or diluted honey
Preparation (10 steps)
Prepare the duck
Wash the mallard duck thoroughly, pat it dry and completely remove any remaining feathers and quills. A fishbone tweezer can be helpful here.
Season the duck
Brush the duck skin very thinly with sugar water or water-diluted honey. Then salt the duck on the outside. Season the inside with salt and pepper.
Prepare vegetables and apples
Cut the root vegetables and apples into fine cubes.
Prepare vegetables for stuffing
Set aside 1/3 of the diced root vegetables and apples together with the thyme sprigs. This mixture will later be stuffed into the duck.
Stuff the duck
Fill the remaining vegetables and apples together with the thyme into the duck. Close the cavity with kitchen twine or toothpicks.
Sauté the vegetables
Put 2/3 of the diced root vegetables and apples together with the clarified butter in the mixing bowl and sauté for 5 min./120°C/speed 1.
Sear the duck
Transfer the sautéed vegetables from the mixing bowl to a roasting pan. Place the stuffed duck on top and sear it all around in the roasting pan. (This is NOT done in the Thermomix!)
Deglaze and Simmer
Deglaze the duck with a shot of almond liqueur and let it reduce briefly. Then pour in the duck stock. Turn the duck breast-side down so that it is covered 2/3 with liquid. Close the roasting pan and simmer gently for 3 hours. (This is NOT done in the Thermomix!)
Bake the duck
Remove the duck from the roasting pan and bake in a preheated oven at 160 degrees Celsius (320 degrees Fahrenheit) top and bottom heat without liquid for about 20 minutes until golden brown. (This is NOT done in the Thermomix!)
Prepare the sauce
Strain the liquid from the roasting pan and pour it into the mixing bowl. Reduce for 15 min./Varoma/speed 1 without the measuring cup until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper.
