Nutritional values

Duck meat is not only a good source of protein - the meat also contains the mineral magnesium, which is important for both the muscles and the nervous system. The B-vitamin thiamine is also important for the nerves, but also for the entire metabolism.

As a side dish to the honey-glazed duck, roast potatoes with whole garlic cloves, roasted chanterelles and steamed navettes are particularly suitable.

Preparation steps

1.

Rinse the duck & pat dry. Rub the duck inside and outside with salt and pepper.

2.

Slit the vanilla pod lengthwise, scrape out the insides and mix thoroughly with the butter. Using a spatula, spread the vanilla butter over the duck.

3.

Lay the duck breast side down in a roasting pan. Pour in 150 ml (approximately 2/3 cup) of water and place in the oven (160°C or approximately 325°F) for about 30 minutes, then turn the duck over, raise the heat to 250°C (approximately 475°F) and roast for another 30 minutes. Baste the duck with the juices repeatedly during cooking.

Finally, brush the duck with honey and allow to roast for a few more minutes. Serve sprinkled with coarse pepper and rosemary.

4.

Optional side dishes: roasted potatoes with whole garlic cloves, fried chanterelles and/or caramelized turnips.
