Duck baked in the oven can turn out incredibly tasty and soft if it is properly prepared. Very often it happens that the duck comes across oldish with rather coarse and tough meat, and no matter how much you would like to cook it today, it is better to marinate it and wait a while. For a young duck, it will be enough to lie in a pickled state overnight, for an old one - a day. Today I bring to your attention a recipe for duck with apples in the sleeve.
How to cook duck with apples?
Ingredients:
- Duck carcass;
- Green apples - 2 pcs;
- Lemons - 2 pcs;
- Soy sauce - 6 tbsp. l;
- Grated ginger root - 2 tbsp;
- Salt pepper;
- Balsamic vinegar - 2 tsp;
- Honey - 2 tbsp;
- Olive oil - 2 tbsp;
Delicious duck marinade
First you need to prepare the marinade: squeeze the lemons, add two tablespoons of honey, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, ginger and soy sauce to them. If your duck is too large, increase the proportions to make enough marinade. Warning your questions about whether it is possible to replace balsamic vinegar with some other: wine, apple, table, I will answer no. This marinade involves the use of the king of all vinegars - balsamic (read the article -). In general, this thing in the kitchen is very useful, especially if you want to master French and Italian cuisine.
This marinade is incredibly fragrant, and the longer you soak the duck in it, the sweeter and tastier it will turn out.
Preparing the duck
Rinse the duck and pat dry with a paper towel. Now you should carefully rub it with salt and pepper. I use freshly ground pepper - it is very fragrant.
We put the duck in a deep bowl and fill it with our delicious marinade. We remove the duck for the night or for a day in the refrigerator.
The next day, we take the duck out of the refrigerator. Take apples, cut in half and remove the core. Then cut the apples into slices.
We stuff the duck tightly with our apples.
Then we put it in a paper sleeve, tie it up and send it to the oven for an hour and a half to bake at 180 degrees.
I don’t make any holes in the sleeve, during the cooking process it swells a lot, but that’s okay. Thanks to the sleeve, the juice from the duck does not spread on the baking sheet, and it oozes in it for the whole hour and a half.
15 minutes before the end of cooking, cut the sleeve and let the duck brown.
Duck baked in a sleeve with apples is ready. Now you can delight yourself and your loved ones with a delicious dinner!
One of the most favorite and popular holiday dishes in my family is duck with apples baked in the oven. The meat of this bird is different from chicken, in a duck it is so dense, fatty and so appetizing! And yet there are insanely delicious apples soaked in duck fat and aroma. I know that not everyone likes thermally processed fruits, but apples must be put inside the carcass. By itself, duck meat is quite dry and tough, apples will add juiciness to the finished dish. We will cook the duck in the sleeve. I use it for two reasons. Firstly, the duck in the roasting sleeve is better fried and does not dry out. Secondly, after this method of cooking, the oven remains practically clean, it is not necessary to wash it of fat.
Duck in the sleeve. Required Ingredients
Of course, we will start with the carcass of the bird. In order to cook a duck in the sleeve, we need:
one duck;
Four to five medium apples, it is better to choose a variety with sourness;
Ground black pepper;
Three large cloves of garlic.
These are the components without which it will not work to cook a duck in a sleeve with apples. But there are also additional ingredients, they depend on how you decide to rub the bird carcass. Salt, pepper and minced garlic is the most traditional option. But you can lubricate the duck with honey-mustard sauce, which will give the festive dish a spicy flavor note. In this case, I recommend adding one or two quinces to apples.
Honey mustard sauce
One tablespoon of honey.
One tablespoon of mustard.
One teaspoon of lemon juice.
Mix all ingredients with a fork. If the duck caught is very large, then we make two or even three portions of the sauce.
Duck in the sleeve. Preparing for baking
The duck must be thoroughly washed and dried. If feathers, fluff and pads remain on the carcass, remove them: manually pluck what happens, grind the rest over gas. We clean the garlic cloves and pass through a press, mix with salt and black pepper, and rub the duck inside and out with this mixture. Apples must be washed and cut into medium pieces. You do not need to clean them, just cut out the core. We stuff the duck with fruit, stuff it so that the edges of the bird can be sewn up with coarse thread or chipped with toothpicks. Now you can grease the carcass with honey-mustard sauce, using a culinary brush for this. When the procedure is completed, leave the bird for an hour or two so that the meat is soaked in sauce.
Duck in the sleeve. baking
The bird is infused, it's time to send it to the oven. We put the stuffed duck in the sleeve and add the remaining apples there. The duck in the sleeve will turn out right away with a side dish, if you put coarsely chopped potatoes in the same place. The oven must be preheated to 200 degrees. At this temperature, bake the dish for about an hour and a half. Then the sleeve must be cut so that the bird is covered with a delicious crust, and send the duck for another hour in the oven. By the way, pay attention to your baking sleeve. Some manufacturers perforate it so that it does not burst in the oven, and it can be cut without effort. Perforation must be on top. Time has passed, and the duck in the sleeve is ready. It must be laid out on a large dish, cut into pieces with kitchen scissors and can be served on the table. Bon appetit!

- Orange pulp - 1 pc.
- Starch - 1-2 tsp
- Honey - 1-2 tbsp.
- Lemon juice - 1 tbsp.
- Water - 50 ml
- Cinnamon - a pinch
Cooking
Let's prepare the bird for cooking. It is necessary to rinse it well, remove all excess remaining hairs and feathers.
We do this with a torch or tweezers, very carefully so as not to damage the skin.
You can also remove the neck, if you don't like it, and the ends of the wings.
Please note that the sebaceous glands must be removed from the tail of the bird.
We remove them due to the fact that during cooking they can give the dish a very unpleasant smell and thus spoil it completely.
The glands are cut from the back. Also, the tail can be removed entirely along with the glands, this option is also not bad.
Let's prepare the marinade for our carcass. To do this, take soy sauce, orange juice, a little honey, grated ginger and orange zest.
We rub the zest trying not to capture the white pulp, because it is bitter, but we do not need it.
Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in one bowl. Mix well to dissolve the honey.
Pour the marinade over our bird. Pour some in. Next, with your hands, evenly rub the bird with liquid on all sides.
When you have done this, cover it with a film and put it in the refrigerator for further impregnation for 24 hours.
Periodically, it will need to be turned from back to belly so that our marinade soaks the meat well from all sides.
This is the secret of magical softness and perfect taste.
So, the duck stood in the refrigerator, well fed. You can start cooking.
Let's prepare the filling. To do this, take sour apples, wash them, without peeling off the skin, cut them into slices, removing the seeds.
Add some honey and a pinch of cinnamon to them. The aroma will be incredible, very festive.
We wipe the duck itself from pieces of ginger and orange, put it on a baking sheet covered with foil, on a pillow of apple circles.
Thanks to them, it will not stick to the foil during cooking and will give a very tasty juice, which we will use for watering and for a special orange sauce that makes this dish simply royal.
Rub the duck on all sides with a mixture of black pepper and dried garlic (it is better if it is garlic powder).
Fill the duck with apples, cinnamon and honey and use a wooden skewer to close the edges so the stuffing doesn't fall out.
Alternatively, you can fasten the edges with toothpicks or sew.
You can not close, but then put a little less stuffing.
Cover the bird with foil and place it in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Estimated cooking time is 2 hours.
But everything will depend on the size of your duck and your oven, the time may vary.
We'll get it in an hour and a half. Pour the juice that stood out from it.
And also we take part of the juice (10-12 tablespoons), together with fat, to prepare orange sauce.
Cover it again with foil and send it to the oven for another half an hour.
During this time, we will prepare an amazing orange sauce.
Of course, if you don’t have much time or don’t feel like messing around, then you can do without it, the duck will still turn out great.
But once you make it, you won't regret it. It complements the dish and gives it an exquisite taste.
So, let's prepare all the ingredients. Peel the orange slices completely from the films and cut into pieces.
Mix everything: duck juice, orange juice, honey, lemon juice, water and cinnamon (except starch and orange pieces) in one saucepan and put on fire. Let it boil.
At this time, mix the starch with water and carefully pour into the saucepan. Stir.
The starch thickens the sauce, so if it seems too thin for you, you can add starch at your discretion, first diluting it with water to get the desired consistency.
Bring to a boil again and add the orange slices to the sauce. The sauce is ready!
The taste should be rich sweet and sour. The acidity and sweetness can be adjusted to your liking by adding a little more lemon juice or honey.
And our duck is almost ready, it was baked for 2 hours, it remains only to brown it.
Remove the foil that was on top. And pour the bird with the secreted juice.
At this stage, it may turn out that the carcass itself is not yet reddened, and the legs and wings are already completely dark.
To keep them from burning while it browns, wrap them in foil.
Return the dish to the oven for about 20 minutes so that it becomes so beautiful and toasted.
We check readiness as follows: pierce in thick places with a toothpick. Only clear juice should stand out, in no case blood.
Cover the duck with foil and let it stand in the air for about 15 minutes, it will cool down a bit and completely reach.
It can be served on the table as a whole, decorated with apples, oranges and herbs.
And you can divide into portioned, thin pieces and serve on plates. Be sure to pour them with a wonderful sauce.
