Duck stuffed with apples and stewed cabbage!
150 min
Ingredients
For the duck and stuffing:
- 1 duck
- 800 g Dimdiņkāposti stewed cabbage
- apple marmalade (for glazing)
- Herbes de Provence spice mix
- 5-pepper blend
- salt
- apples (for stuffing)
- 1 kg Dimdiņkāposti stewed cabbage
- 2 tbsp duck fat
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 5-pepper blend
- potatoes
- carrots
Preparation:
Preparing the duck:
- Preheat the oven to 250°C.
- Place the duck in a pan, leaving room for the potatoes and carrots. Pour in water to a depth of 3–4 cm.
- Rub the duck cavity and skin with salt and pepper. Stuff the cavity with quartered apples and Dimdiņkāposti stewed cabbage. Cover with foil and roast.
- After an hour and a half, remove the foil and add the potatoes and carrots to the pan.
- Sprinkle with salt and the Provence mix. Add more water so the vegetables are sitting in a mixture of fat and water. Bake for another 20–30 minutes.
- Then brush with apple marmalade and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the skin is brown.
For the extra cabbage:
- Put the duck fat and brown sugar in a pan. Add the cabbage.
- Sauté until it almost starts to burn; this will provide both a rich brown color and great flavor.
Enjoy your meal!
