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
Recipes as a concept can be observed back into the far past, in truth as far back into history as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, mostly, these old cook books were just simple hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
Fascinatingly, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts are some stone tablets in the Sumerian language which show the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made people feel wonderful. Progressing into The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a few documents which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, Apicius recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, main meal and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also recounts how the Roman chefs made use of a good variety of aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs such as basil, mint and parsley. In the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new spices and herbs from the holy land, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes created an eruption in recipe books, some of which are kept safe in private libraries. The arrival of TV brings us celebrity chefs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the internet revolution, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
