How to bake a duck in mayonnaise? Prepare all necessary for cooking. The taste of the finished dish depends on which duck you choose. I usually bake a duck weighing no more than 1. 8kg. It is advisable to buy chilled, since it is difficult to judge the freshness and quality of meat by frozen carcass. The duck should be light pink, with a neutral smell. If you take poultry, it should be young (less than a year) or it won't be suitable for baking.

To remove the oil that the dried fruits are treated with before selling, fill the prunes with warm, approximately 70 ° C, water. Stir it so that the water gets to all the cream. Do not use boiling water because prunes will boil. Drain through a sieve to avoid too much fluid.

If the duck is frozen, defrost it in advance. Remove the package and place it in the container on the lower shelf of the refrigerator 12 hours before cooking. Wash the duck under running water, remove the insides and feathers, if available. Grate it outside and inside with salt, pepper and coriander.

While the duck drains, prepare the filling. Peel, rinse and grind the garlic with a knife or garlic chop. Combine the prunes, garlic and bay leaves.

With the prepared mixture, fill the duck and sew the abdomen with a thread.

Place the duck in the roasting sleeve and place on a baking sheet. So that the steam formed in the first minutes of baking comes out and does not tear the sleeve, pierce it with a needle in several places. Put the duck in a preheated oven so that the baking process does not turn into cooking. Bake on a shelf below average for about 2 hours at 150 degrees.

Remove the browned duck, cut and expand the hose from above. Since the duck is quite fatty poultry, a lot of fat can leak out at this stage. Drain it gently. If desired, brush the carcass with mayonnaise. Return to the oven and bake for about 15 more minutes. Garnish the duck with herbs and vegetables and serve to the table. Such a dish is loved by adults and children. It's delicious, beautiful and healthy.
