North Croatian Roasted Duck
This is traditional fall dinner, usually served with “mlinci” (recipe also on zaar). It is very easy and simple; i am adding some of my procedure tricks.
Steps
Clean the duck and salt only from inside 2-3 hours before roasting.
Add one tablespoon of marjoram inside the duck to cover inside meat.
Heat oven to 250c if there is enough fat inside duck , remove this fat and melt it separately in small pot.
Add lard.
Heat lard and pour over ducks skin.
Immediately put the duck into hot oven , roast 20 minutes on 250c and than reduce heat to 180c last 20 minutes roast again on 200c.
Duck weight 2500 g need about 120 minutes roasting.
Start cutting the duck after 15 minutes resting outside.
Use this time to remove fat drippings you will need for mlinci.
