Roasted Whole Duck

Notes

Instead of gravy, sauce your duck with cranberry coulis. The tartness of the berries cuts through the rich, fatty meat of the duck.

Ingredients

For Simmering:
1 5- to 6-pound duck
1 large yellow onion (peeled, trimmed, and quartered)
2 large carrots (cut into 1-inch pieces)
2 medium stalks of celery (cut into 1-inch pieces)
large handful of flat-leaf parsley (with stems)
2 bay leaves
12 peppercorns
For Roasting:
2 tablespoons dried orange zest
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried, ground rosemary
1 orange (washed and cut into eight pieces)
1 small onion (peeled, trimmed and quartered)
2 cloves garlic
