Actually Dan bought this duck for us almost a year ago and we were cleaning out the freezer and remembered we needed to cook it. LOL So, being inspired lately by Julia Child, I decided to consult the MTAoFC (my trusty and worn 1966 copy - my birth year, too) authority and learned how to roast a duck. I cheated a little because the sauce comes with it to make Caneton a l'Orange (Roasted Duck in an Orange Sauce). Here are the beautifully delicious results...
Started with a Mire poix
Gathered some Rosemary and Thyme from my herb garden
Cut up some oranges for stuffing the bird
Stuffed it all in...
Trussed and ready to cook
Done!!!
Served with whole wheat bread
Orange sauce
on top of the bed of mire poix
My plate!
Tender... juicy... YUM!!!
Oh Duck L'Orange. Fantastic. I've never made it - I tend to make Crispy aromatic duck whenever I have a chance. Looks good www kitchenbutterfly com
ReplyDeleteLady, you are brave! I would love to cook duck but I'm terrified that I'll mess it up and/or overcook it! It looks scrumptious though....definitely inspired! Thanks Mama yet again!
