Duck stuffed with apples, oranges, quince, potatoes, cabbage, buckwheat, mushrooms. And that's all about her, the stuffed duck. Stuffed with minced meat and browned in the oven, it is a decoration for the festive table and turns out so tasty that it disappears before the hostess has time to put a piece on her plate. But she’s not offended, it means the dish was a success, the guests are full and happy, and this is the best praise for her.
It has long been a custom in Rus' to cook stuffed goose or duck for an important occasion; it is not without reason that the saying was born: “A bird on the table is a holiday in the house.” If you prefer a traditional taste, choose the filling from potatoes, cabbage, buckwheat porridge, and mushrooms. If you like something more original, you should opt for fillings such as oranges, cherries, quince, mushrooms and nuts.
Stuffed duck - food preparation
There is enough fat in duck meat, so excess fat must be cut off from the carcass, especially near the legs and tail. As well as excess skin near the neck. The duck takes a long time to cook, so the last phalanx of the wing often burns on the carcass, so it is always removed. The tail of the carcass contains two glands that give the dish a rather unpleasant specific taste if they are not removed and can ruin the dish. They are oval in shape and yellowish in color. If you can't find them, it's better to cut off the tail. Now the duck is completely processed, all that remains is to spread it with spices, stuff it and bake it.

Festive table: Duck with apples, baked in the oven
09 March 2013, 12:00 |
blog Cooking blog | Swift 27 chosen
My dears! Today I want to add duck with apples, marinated in orange juice and baked in the oven, to your culinary repertoire.
Rarely does anyone like to mess with a duck. At least for many years, having attended various kinds of festive and special events, I have never once come across this traditionally Russian dish at the table, very tasty and worthy of the most special occasions and a completely undeservedly forgotten wonderful dish.
I agree - many people are ready to enjoy a delicious ruddy duck, but to cook it yourself - the duck is big, it takes a long time to bake and it can also turn out tough...
But in vain. Baked duck is a luxurious holiday dish that requires absolutely no special skill and, most importantly, no expense. And, as a rule, it works the first time. Are you worried that the duck will be tough?
I cook duck several times throughout the year and can say with full responsibility that this recipe always produces soft, juicy and flavorful duck.
There is nothing complicated in cooking duck with apples, but there are many little secrets that will help make this dish even more tasty, juicy and aromatic.
The first secret. For roasting, I always buy “Roast Duck” from the supermarket, it is not very fatty, large and has giblets inside. I have never cooked domestic duck.
The second secret. Before cooking, the duck is marinated in orange juice with spices and garlic and after that the duck is baked in the oven in foil.
The third secret. For roasting not only duck, but also any other poultry, it is undesirable to use ready-made so-called composite seasonings, which contain a flavor enhancer - monosodium glutamate. It has its own specific taste, which can become unpleasant during prolonged heat treatment. When you buy seasonings or a spicy mixture for poultry in the store, you need to carefully read their composition. And if salt was initially added to the mixture, then the dish should be salted very carefully, taking into account the amount of salt in this mixture.
Ingredients:
- Duck - 1 pc.
- Apple - 2 pcs. (“Semerinko” - green, sour),
- Orange - 2 pcs. (1 large, 1 small),
- Garlic - 1 head,
- Olive oil (or vegetable) - 30 g,
- Salt - 1 tsp. with a slide,
- Spices: Seasoning set “For poultry” without MSG – 1 tsp; ground black and red pepper, basil, marjoram,
- Lemon - a few slices.
Preparation:
Remove the giblets and wash the duck thoroughly. Dry inside and outside with napkins or a towel. This must be done, otherwise the marinade simply will not be absorbed into it and will not drain.
Prepare the marinade: Pour olive oil into a plate, add 1 heaped teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, ground black and red pepper to your taste - depending on how spicy the dish is - hot or not. Use a garlic press to squeeze out 3/4 cloves from a head of garlic and add to this mixture, mix thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is formed. Cut a small orange into four slices and squeeze the juice from four orange slices into the mixture. Leave to infuse for 10 minutes.
The fourth secret. Place the duck in a large bag, place a plate with the marinade in it so as not to stain the table surface and apply the marinade to the duck both inside and outside. Wrap the duck in a bag and start preparing the filling. There is no need to wait for it to marinate at this stage; the duck is marinated until the filling is prepared.
Prepare the filling: Cut all the giblets in the duck into small cubes, cut the remaining garlic cloves into slices. Wash the apples, cut into four parts, cut out the core and cut into 1.5 - 2 cm cubes. You can add about five or six washed dried apricots.
If someone does not like the taste of cooked garlic, then it is quite possible to do without garlic.
Mix the apples with giblets and garlic, sprinkle lightly with lemon juice to prevent the apples from turning black, add a pinch of basil, marjoram and ground red and black pepper. Mix the filling.
And fill the duck with filling in small portions. A little advice - you need to press the filling right away. Place a handful of filling inside - compact and so on until the duck is completely stuffed. A fully stuffed duck will look a little puffy and the ball shaped duck will be juicy and not dry out.
Sew up the belly and neck of the duck with regular thread and a clamp needle.
Secret five. Tie the duck's legs at the cut site with thread. Make two small cuts on the sides of the bird, tuck the duck's wings into the resulting pockets and secure with toothpicks. This procedure must be done, otherwise during baking the wings may overcook and become completely dry, and the legs will stick out in different directions and also begin to burn before the duck is completely ready.
Wrap the finished duck back in the bag and leave to marinate for 1-1.5 hours. If you don’t have time, you can skip this step and send the duck straight to the oven for baking. The marinated one is more aromatic and softer.
Secret six. The duck is baked in foil. At the initial stage, it is baked completely wrapped in it and the top part of the foil is released only at the end of the cooking process so that it is fried and crispy. If you bake a duck without foil, it can actually turn out dry and even turn black, which doesn’t look very appetizing. The same rule applies if you are roasting a goose.
Place two strips of foil on a baking sheet, first carefully connected to each other with a triple seam, and lay out one strip of foil diagonally to make a boat-shaped base out of it. Cut a large orange into slices 0.5 cm thick. Place four slices of orange on a sheet of support so that the duck is placed on it, back down, so that it doesn’t burn on the bottom when baking.
Remove the peel from the remaining orange slices and place the orange slices on the duck.
Carefully wrap the duck in foil - first the backing so that juice and fat do not leak out during baking, then the main foil. You need to make sure that the foil does not tear.
Place the wrapped duck in a preheated oven and bake at 200-220 degrees for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, reduce the temperature to 160-180 degrees and bake for another 1.5 hours. Everyone’s oven is different and it’s difficult to say the ideal exact time when the duck is ready; I give an approximate time of readiness in a modern electric oven. To get a crispy crust, I turn on the top heat element of the oven. When roasting a duck in the oven, you need to follow the rule: 1 kg of weight - 1 hour of baking. Readiness can be determined by piercing the meat at the junction of the articular bones with a sharp knife - you need to bake until the juice at the puncture site becomes light and transparent.
After 2 hours, carefully unfold the foil from above, pour the resulting juice that has accumulated in the substrate over the duck. Do not cover with foil anymore so that the duck is fried and crispy. During the baking process of the duck, the subcutaneous fat will melt, and to prevent it from burning, the mixture of fat and juice must be collected with a spoon in a separate bowl.
The juice has a very pleasant smell and taste, because it has absorbed the aroma of spices and the taste of orange juice and is perfect for making sauce. Leave a little juice to season the apple filling - it turns out dry.
And bake for another 30-40 minutes without foil, periodically basting with the resulting juice.
While the duck is cooking, remove the fat from the juice and make a sweet and sour sauce with a little tomato paste and fried flour. It is very pleasant to dip pieces of meat into this sauce.
And finally, the duck is ready! Fragrant, with a golden, appetizing crust, fragrant with spices and spreading a delicate aroma of orange.
Carefully remove it from the oven and place it in a large bowl. Release the belly from the threads and add the apple filling. Pour the juice collected during baking over the filling.
Cut the duck into portions using poultry shears, holding it with a clean kitchen towel to avoid getting burned.
The duck should be served immediately; once the dish has cooled, it will no longer have such an intoxicating aroma and taste. Baked potatoes go well with this duck as a side dish. I usually bake it in a roasting pan and place it next to the duck, or boiled rice with stewed vegetables.
Try this dish of amazing taste - the combination of poultry meat with fruits and spices will leave an unforgettable delicate taste in your memory for a long time!
Have a nice time and good mood to you and your loved ones at the festive table!

Cooking duck at home: recipes in the oven
The secret to cooking meat is simple. The most important thing is to purchase a fresh and high-quality carcass. If the duck is domestic, it should have a “healthy” appearance, light pink or light yellow color and no foreign unpleasant odors. If the color of the carcass is yellow, this means that the bird is no longer young and the meat will be tougher.
If you purchase a frozen duck in a store, then pay attention to the integrity of the packaging and the absence of ice on the carcass. Ice indicates that the bird was defrosted and re-frozen.
