Orange and Ginger Duck

Have not done Duck for awhile and since I treated myself to a Weber Rotisserie for my OTG I wanted to break it in right. So here we go.

One 5lbs. Duck, cross hatched the skin only and did several piercings for fat removal, plenty of fresh ginger and garlic worked into and under the skin. A bunch of excess fat removed. Salted well to dry the skin and put in the fridge last night uncovered.

Rendered the fat down and passed through a strainer. Took the liver and salted both sides and fried it in duck fat.

Made the CEO and myself some HorryDerves, liver sliced thin on crackers with mint jelly on half and some apricot preserve on the others. They wer good

And away we go, running Stubbs on each side of the bird at 350-375

Made a sauce up to baste the Duck after all the fat rendered, ginger and garlic, orange marmalade, EVOO and some Grand Mariner

Potatoes roasting on the Genesis, coated with Kosher and Fresh Ground, and most importantly the rendered duck fat

Switched out pans to capture the pure oil when the majority had rendered so that my braise did not contaminate

That is an amazing cook Bill. I love duck, though I've never done one. After this post, I'ts near the top of my "to do" list!
 
Bill, SWMBO and I have been discussing a duck for a while now. You have given me some wonderful inspiration my friend! Beautifully done!
