This weekend was mothers day, and my mom and I made one of the tastiest mother's day feasts this side of Yums-ville: roasted duck with a delicious apple and prune stuffing. The apple stuffing has to be my favorite part. You never really had stuffing until you have had apple stuffing from duck! It's indescribably delicious and perfectly balanced.
Now enough about the stuffing, lets get cooking!
What you're gonna need:
1 Roasting duck ¾ cup Red wine
3 cup Large croutons
1 cup Diced apples
¾ cup Drained chopped prunes
½ cup Walnuts
½ tsp Paprika
½ tsp Cinnamon
1 tbsp Lemon juice
4 Dried and halved apricots
How to get tasty:
1) Preheat oven to 450° F
2) In a large bowl mix together the croutons, apples, prunes, walnuts, spices, lemon juice and apricots
3) Once everything is combined, take ¼ cup of the red wine and stir it into the apple stuffing
4) Take the de-thawed and cleaned duck and begin stuffing it. Stuff both sides as full as you can with delicious stuffing
5) Place the duck and any remaining stuffing in a roasting pan. Cover and place in oven
6) Immediately reduce oven heat to 350° F
7) Roast the duck for 20 minutes per pound
8) Take ½ a cup of the red wine and drizzle it over the duck, once its been in the oven for about an hour.
9) Drizzle the last cup of wine over the duck about an hour later
10) Once the duck is finished, allow to rest for 5- 10 minutes and enjoy!
Happy mothers day & good eats
Dedicated to my wonderful mother who always let my cook, so long as I did the dishes of course
