Duck with rice in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Products that we will need to cook duck with rice in the oven.

2. Step 2:

   

   First of all, prepare the sauce for marinating the duck. Mix soy sauce, sugar, 1 h.l. salt and allspice in a small container. Instead of sugar, you can use balsamic sauce (a sauce based on balsamic vinegar. It has a viscous consistency, fruity aroma and sweet-sour taste). Pass the garlic through a garlic press or through a press. Add the same to all the ingredients in the container. Mix everything thoroughly.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash the duck, remove the sebaceous glands from the tail if desired. Dry the carcass with paper towels, and then coat the duck on all sides with the prepared sauce. Just as well smear inside. Leave the duck to marinate, and at this time prepare the filling.

4. Step 4:

   

   Rinse rice several times in running water (it is better to use long-grained, so as not to end up with porridge). Pour the rice into a saucepan, fill it with water and send it to a high heat. After boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the rice is half cooked. While the rice is cooking, make a roast.

5. Step 5:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the pan. Peel the onion and carrot. Chop the onion finely, grate the carrots on a medium grater. Fry the vegetables for a few minutes, stirring constantly. Discard the half-cooked rice in a colander, rinse again with water. Mix rice and fried vegetables in a separate bowl. Season with salt, pepper and sprinkle with dry oregano if desired.

6. Step 6:

   

   Wash the apple and cut into medium pieces.

8. Step 7:

   

   Stuff the duck with rice and vegetables, leave some space for apples.

9. Step 8:

   

   At the end stuff the carcass with apples.

10. Step 9:

    

    Sew up the abdomen with threads or close it with toothpicks. Tie the wings and legs with a thick thread, as in the photo. Thus, the finished dish will look neat and beautiful.

11. Step 10:

    

    Wrap the stuffed duck in foil, send it to a baking dish and put it in the oven for an hour at 180-190 degrees, "top-bottom" mode. After the specified time, remove the mold from the oven, cut the foil on top and send the duck to bake again for an hour and a half. 15-20 minutes before cooking. Change the oven mode to convection, to form a golden crust.

12. Step 11:

    

    During baking, periodically open the oven and pour the resulting juice and fat over the duck with a spoon or it is convenient to coat the duck with a silicone brush (be careful not to get burned!). Cut the finished duck carefully along the brisket, pour the rice with the remaining fat from baking, and serve to the table.
