1 duck
Salt and pepper
1 onion
1 cup water or meat stock
Butter
1 tart apple |
Clean the duck, then rub salt and pepper
on the inside and outside of duck. Cut the apple into eighths
and place in the cavity of the duck. With the back of the
duck facing up, lay it in a roasting pan. Put the onion,
butter, and water or meat stock into the pan with the duck
and bake 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until the duck is done. Halfway
through the cooking time, turn the duck one time. Remove
the apple. Carve the duck and serve with potato dumplings
(recipe follows).
