Recipe - Duck Wchianti And Rosemary

1 Duck; 56 pound
One half cup Chopped celery
One half cup Chopped onion
One half cup Chopped carrot
Unsalted butter
Chianti and Rosemary sauce
(see index for sauce
recipe)

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.

2. Remove giblets and rinse duck, inside and out. Remove breast skin and
cut duck breast from bone, creating two halfbreast pieces. Remove legs and
thigh as one piece without removing skin.

3. Saute the liver gently in several tablespoons of butter and reserve.
Cut in thin slices and use as garnish.

4. Saute all bones in a large pot including wings and remaining giblets in
several tablespoons of butter. Add celery, onion, and carrot. Cover with
several quarts of water and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 3
to 4 hours. Cool, then skim off fat. Strain. Reheat stock and reduce by
half.

5. Cook leg and thigh pieces, skin on, in pan covered with foil in oven for
1 hr & 15 mins. Try to time this so the duck is done as the stock finishes
up.

6. For medium rare: poach breast slowly for about 9 mins. in very hot but
not simmering stock. Or saute gently in a saucepan in butter for 8 to 10
minutes. Or grill on stovetop electric grill for 6 minutes. Serve breasts
and legs with Sauce.
