It's no secret that the duck is excellentis combined not only with vegetables, but also with fruits. The recipe for this particular dish is what we suggest you try in your kitchen. The food is cooked in beer, thanks to which the meat is very fragrant and juicy. Why not depart from traditional cutlets, chops and sausages for dinner, instead making a bird baked in the oven? Ingredients:
- one and a half kilograms of fresh duck
- salt - to taste
- 800 grams of sweet and sour apples
- favorite condiments - if desired

Now grate it with salt, freshly ground black pepper and other seasonings. Note that you need to process the duck not only from the outside, but also inside. If time allows, let it brew for about five to six hours. The recipe for the filling for this dish is quite simple: part of the washed apples cut into not too large cubes, after getting rid of the core. Then stuff them a bird and sew a hole with a thread. Some mistresses fasten it with wooden skewers. Now put the bird in the caterpillar back up. The remaining fruit cut into equal slices of the same size and spread around the duck: on the sides, front and back. Fill the product with beer so that it almost completely covers the carcass. The dishes should be covered with a lid or foil, so that the dish does not burn. However, note that the foil should not touch the duck, otherwise in these places the meat will be dark and ugly. The duck is baked in the oven at an average temperature of 200 degrees. But the first half an hour it should be somewhat lower - 160, and only then it should be warmed up to 180 and above. Preparation of the dish takes an hour and a half.

Duck in a sauce of beer and cream
If you decide to please your loved onea delicious dinner in a romantic atmosphere and want to cook a duck, take this recipe for a note. Agree that buying a whole bird, which on average weighs about one and a half to two kilograms, is not entirely economical. After all, you probably will not eat the whole dish, and afterwards it will not be so appetizing. So we propose to do with small sacrifices and small financial costs, making duck breasts in beer. Juicy and delicate food is ideal for a romantic dinner with a bottle of dry wine! Ingredients:
- two medium duck breasts
- a tablespoon of butter
- 200 milliliters of dark beer
- 50 grams of gentle cream cheese
- two teaspoons of vegetable oil (we recommend taking olive oil)
- salt
- small bunch of parsley or dill
- 100 milliliters of thick cream
Cooking method: The first thing to start with is to make not deep cuts on the breasts (from the fat side). When you are ready, sprinkle the meat with spices (black pepper, oregano, dried provencal herbs or others at your discretion), and also salt. While the dish is soaked, melt the saucepan with a piece of butter, mixing it with vegetable. As soon as the liquid is heated, place the duck breasts in the dishes and fry them for five minutes on each side, not forgetting to turn over. Be sure to drain the melted fat, reduce the heat and shortly extinguish the bird. Meanwhile, heat the beer in the bowl and add the cream cheese, stir until it dissolves completely. Then pour the cream and cook the liquid for another five minutes. Seasonings and salt throw to your taste. When the breasts acquire a brownish-golden hue, remove them from the plate. Then cut into thick slices, distribute on serving plates, next place a side dish - mashed potatoes, boiled rice or another - and pour a fragrant sauce. At the very end, sprinkle the dish with fresh chopped parsley and call the boyfriend or sweetheart to the table. Bon Appetit! By the way, if you want to depart from the traditional side dish, which was discussed above, make an original vegetable salad (its recipe can be found on our website) or, for example, put out the carrot by cutting it with thin mugs, with cumin. 
Duck with fruit under the beer
The recipe for an appetizing duck with green sweet and sourapples you already know, it was said a little higher, so this time we propose to make another dish, adding to the fruit also oranges. To ensure that the meat is not too hard, it must be put out in sauce. In this case, we will talk about beer. So, if you are ready to create a real culinary masterpiece, let's start. Ingredients:
- duck (gutted and plucked) - one piece
- four apples (for beauty we recommend taking two green and two red)
- two medium-sized oranges
- several leaves of laurel
- salt - at your discretion
- 500 milliliters of beer (preferably use light)
- a tablespoon of olive oil
- fragrant black pepper - optional
Cooking method: The washed duck should be dried well, otherwise an excess liquid will form, which in itself can spoil the final taste and type of dish. Then rub the inner and outer surface of the carcass with salt and, if desired, seasonings. You can use ready-made shop spices, which will give the meat not only a beautiful golden color, but also a special flavor. Now, turn to fruit: remove apples from apples and cut them into large slices. As for the oranges, they should be peeled off the skin and white film and chopped into small pieces. Naturally, all the fruits do not fit in the bird, so we recommend cutting the mugs and use them as decorations. So, stuff the duck with chunks of apples and oranges and send it to the oiled scallop belly down. Around spread the remaining fruit. Pour the dish with beer and close the lid. It is desirable that the drink completely covered the carcass, but if this does not happen, do not worry - the duck will still get very tasty. Now add a little pepper and laurel leaves. Put the bird in the oven and bake for 45 minutes at 180 degrees. Then increase the temperature to 200 and cook as much. To make the dish well fried, about seven minutes before you get it, remove the lid and hold the duck in the oven for seven minutes. Before serving, divide the bird into pieces and serve with baked fruit. This recipe is useful not only for everyday use, but also for special occasions.
