Guide on cooking duck

By John James


Duck can make for a delicious meal, but only if cooked right. Many people today thought to cook it like a typical chicken or turkey and have ended up being more disappointed than anything. And so here is a short guide on how to cook duck, or more precisely, how to make crispy-skin vapored duck.

The Necessary Ingredients:

To start things off, you will obviously need a duck... for the sake of replicating this recipe, it will have to weigh around 4 lbs. You will need 2 teaspoons of brandy, 75 mL of coarse salt, 4 smashed cloves of garlic, 1 lemon, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, two teaspoons of freshly-chopped rosemary, and two tablespoons of grated pepper.

Preparing the Meal:

First of all, you need to take care to rinse the duck appropriately and dry it up. Use the brandy to rub the duck's inside as well as its outside, right after which you will need to do the same thing with the salt. after placing it on a dish, cover it up in saran wrap and refrigerate it for a couple of days, turning it every single day. Meanwhile, take care to cut off some lemon strips.

Once that process has been completed, rinse the duck once once again using cold water and dry it. Cut off the excess skin, the tailbone and any extra fat.

Combine the garlic, the chopped rosemary and the pepper in small bowl working with a fork, and once the mixture is complete rub it on the duck's within. soon after that, put eachthing in the water, apart from the rosemary sprigs, maple syrup and lemon strips, and boil it. Place the duck in it with the boob dealing with up on a bamboo steamer, after which you will need to place the leftover ingredients on top of it. Place each and everything on top of your pot of boiling water, and then squeeze a few mL of lemon fruit juice on top of the duck. steam it on medium heat for around 75 minutes.

Once you have removed it, mix the maple syrup with some lemon juice and brush it over the duck's bottom side. Then, place it boob side down at 425F or 220C in an oven for 15 minutes. Once the duck is golden, turn it over and roast for another 15 minutes, and that's all there is to it.
