Whole Duck with Green Peppercorn Glaze
RECIPE COURTESY OF ALEX GUARNASCHELLI
Level: Intermediate
Total: 1 hr 50 min
Prep: 5 min
Inactive: 15 min
Cook: 1 hr 30 min
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

1 (5 1/2-pound) whole Long Island duck
Salt
6 cups water
1 cup light soy sauce, divided
1/3 cup honey, plus 1/4 cup
1 (3/4-ounce) can green peppercorns in brine, about 2 tablespoons
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
2 tablespoons dry Marsala

Directions

Preheat an oven to 500 degrees F and arrange the oven rack in the center of the oven.

Remove the innards of the duck and reserve them for another use, or discard. Remove any loose pockets of fat surrounding the cavity. Season the inside of the duck with salt.

In a pot large enough to hold the duck, combine the water, 3/4 cup of the soy sauce and 1/3 cup of honey. Bring the mixture to a simmer over low heat. Add in the brine from the green peppercorns, lower the heat and submerge the duck, breast side down, into the pot. Let it simmer 30 seconds, basting the top side with the liquid. Remove the duck and arrange it, breast side down, in a roasting pan fitted with a rack that elevates it off the bottom of the pan. The rack will allow hot air to circulate around it as it cooks. (Cook's note: Ideally, the duck should sit overnight to allow the flavors to meld with the meat and for the skin to dry out. This will mean a crispier skin, once the duck is cooked.)

Put the roasting pan into the oven and turn the temperature down to 400 degrees F. Allow about 15 minutes roasting time for each pound of duck. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes, remove the pan from the oven, then flip the duck. Using a turkey baster, remove the excess fat from the bottom of the roasting pan and transfer it to a heatproof liquid measuring cup. Return the duck to the oven and cook for another 45 minutes to1 hour, depending upon the size of your duck.

Meanwhile, in a medium pot, combine the champagne vinegar with the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, Marsala and the reserved green peppercorns. Bring the ingredients to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat and simmer gently, allowing the glaze to reduce and the flavors to blend. Taste for seasoning. Allow it to cook until all the flavors meld together.

Remove the duck from the oven and baste it with the drippings in the bottom of the pan. The duck should register about 150 F when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into the thigh meat. Transfer it to a platter and pour half of the glaze over the breast and thigh meat. Reserve the remaining glaze for plating. Allow the bird to "rest" for about 15 minutes. Carve the duck and arrange on a serving platter. Season the flesh, with salt, if desired, and top with remaining glaze.

Cook’s Note
Reserve any fat that accumulated at the bottom of the pan. I use that duck fat like oil or butter for cooking. It's delicious!

Tonight I looked at about 15 duck recipes to prepare for cooking duck in 3 day’s time. I’m definitely choosing this one!
Also, I’ll get more chances to look & listen to all that gorgeousness!

Alex, I love you. I watch you all of the time. Your duck looks absolutely beautiful! Instead of putting soy in the boiling water, I thinkI would try the advice from one of the comments using raspberry vinaigrette and honey and soak it as you did. I would also forego the green peppercorn. I know your duck tasts delicious but I am a seasoning person and I would have to use some poultry seasoning and salt and pepper. Alex, thank you so much. I will be watching you soon. Love you. Enjoy your holiday😊
