Ingredients

  • cups chicken stock see homemade
  •  duck 
  • 0.7 cup olives green pitted
  • tbsp tomato purée dried

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • pot
  • baking pan
  • aluminum foil
  • skewers

Directions

  1. This recipe yields a succulent roast duck, every morsel of which is tender and tasty, and as a by-product, a good half pint of duck fat. No cook worth her salt would waste a scrap of this precious substance, which is kept in a pot in the fridge and used for frying and flavoring.
  2. Trim any flaps of fat on the duck, and pull out any lumps of fat tucked inside. Rinse and dry the duck, then prick lightly all over with a skewer (about 20-30 times), trying to pierce the skin but not the flesh underneath. Rub all over with salt and sprinkle some inside the cavity.
  3. Put on a rack and roast upside down for 3 hours at 250° F (200° F convection).
  4. Drain the fat into a bowl, set the duck the right way up and increase the heat to 350° F (325° F convection) for 45 minutes longer, till nicely browned. Leave to stand for 15 minutes, loosely covered with foil.
  5. Reduce the chicken stock with the tomato and herbs to a saucelike consistency, then strain into a clean pan. Simmer the olives in water for 2 minutes to temper the flavor, then strain and stir into the sauce.
  6. Cut the duck into pieces and serve with the sauce.

  8. Baked olives: it is a revelation how olives are transformed by heating, their flavor mellowed and softened. Next time you wish to serve olives with drinks, try baking them.
  9. Cut a square of foil and put in a small baking dish, pulling up the sides. Put rinsed olives in the middle with a splash of olive oil, half a dozen peppercorns, a halved clove of garlic, a few coriander seeds, a bay leaf and a strip of orange zest. Wrap in the foil to enclose the olives completely then bake at 350° F (325°F convection) for 10 minutes or up to half an hour.
  10. Serve in the foil parcel.
