Duck with buckwheat and prunes
If the duck recipe with buckwheat is the most famousof all the recipes for cooking ducks, then a duck with buckwheat and prunes, cooked in the oven - its most popular option. We'll start with it. Ingredients:
- Duck carcass - 2.5-3 kg;
- A glass of buckwheat groats;
- Head of onions;
- Carrot;
- Prunes - 100-200 g;

- Salt and pepper.
Preparation: Duck carcass is previously thawed, if it was frozen. Do this before the cooking, defrosting the duck in a natural way, placing it on the lower shelf of the refrigerator for the night. The defrozen bird is burned, we remove the stumps from the feathers and carefully from the outside and from the inside. Now the duck needs to marinate. For this, a tablespoon of salt is mixed with an incomplete teaspoon of black ground pepper and passed through the press with three or four cloves of garlic. With the resulting mixture we rub the bird first inside, and then outside. We wrap the carcass in a food film and clean it in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

Carrots will be washed, brushed and cut into small pieces or straws. Peeled onion finely chopped. Fry carrots with onions in vegetable oil and mix with boiled buckwheat and prunes.

So that the filling does not fall out of the upper opening of the carcass, the skin from the neck is curled up and tucked inside the bird or just sew this hole with a strong cotton thread. The incision on the belly of the duck is also sewn and we put the carcass on a greased baking sheet. Bake the duck in the oven, heated to 180 degrees for about two hours. During the baking process, the bird is not necessary to turn over, but it is necessary to periodically water it with grease. Readiness is verified by making a puncture at the junction of the duck leg with the trunk. If a clear juice appears from the puncture without blood, then our stuffed duck is ready, and it can be taken out of the oven. From the ready bird carefully remove minced meat, lay buckwheat and prunes on a dish, and on top we lay out the cut duck cut into pieces.
