Roast duck with stuffing is as easy to prepare as a turkey or a
chicken, though it is doubtful that the Conquistadors at the first
Thanksgiving took the time to stuff the ducks before roasting. In
these days of lean and no fat meals, many people refuse to consider
duck becuase it is perceived as being extremely fatty. Several simple
steps, however, can greatly reduce the fat content. First, if the
skin is pricked before cooking, much of the fat will drain off.
Secondly, removing the skin before serving will lower the fat content
even further.
(1) 4-1/2 to 5 pound duck, remove giblets and neck from inside wash
and pat dry ground red chile powder
Sprinkle the inside cavity of the duck with salt.
Saute the chiles and onion in the margarine until soft.
Combine the mixture with the apples, bread cubes, nuts, and cilantro,
and toss gently to mix. Fill the neck and body cavities loosely with
stuffing. Skewer the neck shut and cover the opening of the body
cavity with aluminum foil and tie the legs together. To be safe, do
not stuff until you are ready to cook.
Place the duck on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. With sharp fork,
prick the skin at 1-inch intervals, being careful not to prick the
meat or it will dry out. This is to allow the duck to continuously
self-baste so you can put it in the oven and forget it.
Dust the duck with the chile powder. Bake in slow oven, 325 degrees
F., about 3 hours or to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F.
Serves: 2 to 4 Heat Scale: Mild
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
It is quite feasible to track the history of transcribed cooking instructions far back into ancient history, in truth as far as the early Egyptians, and quite possibly further than that. Interesting though that maybe, mostly, these old records were just simple hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a roman called Apicius wrote some documents detailing recipes prepared by his fellow Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into starters, main course and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. This early Roman chef describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different herbs and spices, including some familiar names like bay, fennel and dill. For the centuries that followed, the powerful and wealthy houses competed to serve the most extravagent meals, and as a consequence, the best cooks and their collection of recipes increased in prestige. Notwithstanding that, it was during the nineteenth century that cooking and recipe collections became popular. Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and writing down recipes that were common in the better off homes of the day. The introduction of the TV gave us TV cooks and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which brings us neatly up to date and the internet revolution, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on our web site. |
