cooking a whole duck

Sarahsaver

ex m.i.l. gave father in law toilet paper sarnies once bcos she asked what he wanted for lunch and he said 'whatever'
A lesson for men everywhere. And users of the word whatever!

I love duck, its a fav in our house, like most posts have said, i roast it on a rack so the fat drips down, which i then save for my roast potatos, yum!!!
I wouldnt waste the duck hitting OH with it, a rolling pin however..................lol

i would eat it all by myself, slowly, making sure to let him know I enjoyed it LOADS.

I cooked a joint of silverside beef in my slow cooker on saturday and we had half left so I made us both rolls for lunch yesterday! He says he never threw them away but I can't see how he managed pub lunch and the rolls... :rotfl:

Unfortunately though we have split up today, nothing to do with yesterday!

Crispy chinese duck and pancakes :drool:

That would be my choice, personally

BBC Food has some interesting recipes for duck, have a look and see what you think.

The easiest thing to do with it is just roast it - it will be delicious. !!!!!! the skin all over with a fork and rub with salt to make the skin really crispy. Roast on a trivet or something similar to let all the fat run off, duck is incredibly fatty but very moist because of it - the fat makes lovely roast potatoes. Cook at 190c for 20 mins per lb plus 20 mins. Mmm my mouth is watering :rotfl:

I do a lovely oriental duck noodle thing

Noodles & beansprouts strifried with soy & finely shredded veg , spring onions, red pepper

Duck done in a griddle pan, salt into the skin and a marinade of honey, pinch of chinese all spice.

Wish I was having that for tea mmm
