If you are planning a big partynumber of guests, first of all, you need to take care of compiling a festive menu. Naturally, you can’t do without light snacks - sandwiches, canapes, meat and cheese slices. Offer your guests several types of salads, and serve duck with apples as a hot dish. We will share simple recipes for an original dish that will suit absolutely any occasion, be it a birthday, New Year, Christmas or another celebration.

Duck stuffed with sour apples

According to this recipe, the duck is stuffed with sourapples and cooked in foil. The dish is baked in the oven for quite a long time - one and a half to two hours - but this is precisely why the meat turns out very tender, soft and juicy. Your efforts will not be wasted, because such a dish will certainly please your guests. Ingredients:

• one big duck (take a two kilogram carcass)
• half a kilogram of sour apples
• Freshly ground black pepper - for your taste
• salt
• condiments - if desired

Method of preparation:We recommend using a ready-made carcass, that is, plucked and gutted, because this will significantly save your time and effort. So, first, the duck is washed under the tap and dried well. Then it must be rubbed with table salt, black pepper, and seasonings. You can use special spices that are sold by weight in many supermarkets. If you want to add piquancy to the dish, crush a few cloves of garlic, mix them with salt and treat the bird with this mixture. Let's move on to preparing the filling: cut the washed apples into not too large cubes. We will give advice to housewives who use sweet fruits: sprinkle them with a small amount of lemon juice. There is also another option: you can add 100 milliliters of cranberry juice to the filling. Now turn on the oven to heat up (to about 160 degrees), and stuff the bird yourself and sew up the hole with threads or fasten with wooden skewers. As was said at the beginning, the duck is baked in foil, so wrap it and place it in the oven for at least an hour and a half. After the specified time, unfold the foil, pour the fat that has been released over the bird and increase the temperature to 180 degrees. After half an hour, take out the ruddy product and set the table for the arrival of guests. In order not to waste extra time preparing a side dish, when you unfold the foil, put the potatoes cut into slices, greased with olive oil and sprinkled with salt and spices to the bird. The duck with sour apples is pre-cut into portions and served in a large deep plate. For beauty, you can add fresh herbs, but first chop them with a knife as finely as possible.

Musky duck with spices stuffed with apples

Muscovy duck, or as it is also called, Muscovy duckduck, has lean, tender meat that tastes slightly different from other bird breeds. We suggest stuffing it with juicy apples and baking it in foil. This dish will pleasantly surprise your loved ones and diversify your usual menu. Ingredients:

• one duck
• Salt and ground pepper - to taste
• four grams of cardamom
• half a tablespoon of fragrant rosemary
• ten milliliters of olive oil
• three medium-sized apples of Simirenko (if desired, you can take fruits of another variety)

Method of preparation:Before you start cooking, be sure to thoroughly rinse the gutted and plucked bird under running water and let it drain. Then pour olive oil into a small bowl, add table salt, cardamom, ground black pepper, and rosemary. Mix the sauce well and apply it to the outside and inside of the duck. Now it's time to make the stuffing: core the Simirenko apples and cut them into cubes. Depending on the size of the fruit, you may need three to five of them. Now stuff the bird with apples and secure the opening with special wooden sticks or sew them up with thread. Just don't forget to cut them off before serving. Divide the foil into three pieces, each about 60 centimeters long. Place them crosswise in a heat-resistant baking dish and drip a little oil, spreading it with your hands over the entire surface of the foil. Now put the duck here and pour boiled water so that it covers the bottom of the dish only by two fingers. After the oven has heated up to 180 degrees, hermetically, putting one layer of foil on another, completely cover the bird with it. The duck is cooked for an hour and a half, then poured with the juice that it releases during baking, and again simmered for about 30-40 minutes. The dish is served with a side dish: you can boil rice, make mashed potatoes or a light vegetable salad. Tender meat of Muscovy duck is very healthy, low-fat and is perfect for both adults and children. Now you know this recipe - if you have the opportunity, be sure to please your family with an appetizing dish!

Duck baked with apples in foil under wine and honey sauce turns out incredibly tender and very tasty. With such a dish, your festive menu will definitely be received with a bang by your guests. Everyone will be satisfied - believe me and check it out in practice. The preparation of the dish is not at all difficult, does not require any special culinary talent. True, it takes quite a long time - the bird is baked for two hours. Ingredients:

• Salt and ground pepper (black) - to taste
• 50 grams of butter
• three teaspoons melted golden honey
• a glass of dry wine (use only red)
• one kilogram of sweet apples

Method of preparation:First, let's make the sauce. To do this, pour red wine into a heated saucepan, add honey after a couple of minutes and cook, stirring constantly. To prevent the dish from boiling over, turn the burner to minimum; when the volume of liquid has decreased by about half, add the butter cut into pieces and wait until it melts. Stir the product a few more times and remove it from the stove. Now add salt to your taste, lightly pepper, and you can add some aromatic spices. Rosemary, cardamom, or cumin are perfect for this. Note that you can melt the butter in advance - then the sauce will be more uniform and you will not have to wait for the cream product to melt itself. Set the wine and honey mixture aside to cool, and pay attention to the filling. Cut half of the washed apples into four equal parts, removing the core. Then put them in a deep bowl and pour ½ of the prepared sauce, mixing everything thoroughly. Now rinse the duck and after it dries well, singe it with a lighter. Grease the carcass with spices and salt inside, and then outside. Stuff the bird with apples, fastening the cut with skewers or sewing it up with threads. Grease the duck with sauce on all sides and wrap it in foil, adding water (50 milliliters is enough). By the way, some wine nectar should be saved for further cooking. The dish is baked in the oven at 200 degrees. While the bird is browning, carefully, so as not to damage them, remove the core from the remaining fruits, and pour half a teaspoon of granulated sugar inside. When an hour and a half has passed since the duck was put in the oven, pour the rest of the wine onto the baking sheet with the bird and put the apples with sugar there, cut side up. After seven to ten minutes, you can take the product out of the oven. The appetizing duck is ready to eat! We recommend pouring the liquid remaining on the baking sheet into a small saucepan and bringing to a boil over low heat. The resulting sauce is served as a gravy for the bird. Enjoy your meal!

Golden duck with apples, cinnamon and mayonnaise

Have you decided to surprise your beloved with a romantic dinner? Then put aside the recipes for familiar dishes. We suggest making an original dish that is perfect for such an occasion. Ingredients:

• five apples
• duck - one piece
• vegetable oil - for lubrication
• spices and salt
• half a lemon
• cinnamon - three pinch
• four tablespoons of delicious mayonnaise (you can replace it with sour cream)
• apple or table vinegar - for marinating
• several laurel leaves

Method of preparation:If you are using poultry, we recommend marinating it for a few hours. Then the meat will be more tender and appetizing. So, after gutting the bird, remove the fat, then singe, rinse and dry. Now put it in a large saucepan, pour in boiled but not hot water, add salt, bay leaf, table salt, as well as ground black pepper and vinegar. The finished mixture should have a slightly sour taste. The duck is marinated for two to six hours. In order not to waste time, preheat the oven and cut each fruit into thin slices. Lightly salt the apples and sprinkle them with cinnamon. As for the lemon, it should also be divided into small pieces. Now rub the bird with mayonnaise both inside and out. To prevent the meat from being bland, mix table salt with your favorite seasonings and treat the bird. Then stuff it with fruit and be sure to sew up the hole with thread. Put foil on a baking sheet, grease it with a small amount of vegetable oil, and put the duck on top. Put the product in the oven, preheating it to 180 degrees. After an hour and a half, take the dish out, uncover, pour generously with the released juice and keep it in the oven for about 30 minutes. We have told you the recipe for the simplest marinade, but if you want to be original, you can make it in a different way. For this, you will need the following set of products: olive oil, three cloves of garlic, one small orange, ground red and black peppers and, of course, table salt. First, pour the oil into a bowl, then pour in the spices, lightly salt, add crushed garlic with a press and mix well. Then cut the orange into four parts and squeeze the juice directly into the marinade. The mixture should sit for about ten minutes, and only then can you treat the bird with it. To marinate the duck properly, rub it with the resulting olive-orange product, put it in a bag and wrap it tightly. After two hours, bake the product, having previously stuffed it with fruit. As you can see, all the recipes are very simple, so you can cook the bird at least every day. Tender meat combined with a side dish - potatoes, buckwheat or rice - will be a great dinner for the whole family. We recommend reading:
