Duck stuffed with cabbage in the oven

Method

1. 01

   Wash the duck carcass in cool water, clean the remaining feathers, if any.

2. 02

   Make an incision along the chest and remove the insides. Grate the duck with salt and black ground pepper from the inside.

3. 03

   Now let's get to the basics for stuffing ducks.

   Dried fruits (prunes and dried apricots) soak in a glass of water.

5. 05

   Chop apples in medium sized pieces, like in the photo.

6. 06

   Cut two pieces of bread in blocks.

7. 07

   In the dish mix bread, dried apricots, prunes and apples. Sprinkle all this with the juice of one orange and mix with your hands.

8. 08

   We'll stuff the duck with fruit.

9. 09

10. 10

    Now we'll rub the duck with seasonings and salt. I like to use black pepper and ajika for this.

11. 11

    We pack the duck in the sleeve for baking. Carcass of the bird lay out on a batter and bake in an oven at a temperature of 180 degrees about 1 hour. In principle, you can do without a sleeve for baking, but with its help, poultry meat will better absorb the aroma of fruits.

    After an hour, we take out a batter with a duck from the oven, remove it from the sleeve for baking and make it out with sliced garlic. Also puts on the pallet chopped cabbage, salt it. Thanks to the duck fat, it will turn out very tasty and juicy. The tray with a festive duck is removed into the oven, increasing the temperature to 200 degrees. We will bake it for about 40 minutes, while do not forget to stir the cabbage.
