Chef Bohdan Szymczak likes to cook typical Polish dishes but his recipes always have personal touch. Roast duck with apples is a traditional Polish dish, which is usually served on special occasions. It is a perfect autumn dish especially when served with in-season apples.

Ingredients

1 whole duck, cleaned, dried
6 granny smith apples, peeled, cut into wedges
1 small onion, peeled
½ orange
Butter
2 tsp sugar
1 bunch fresh marjoram
Cranberry sauce

Preparation

Prick the skin of the duck (this will let the fat melt into the meat and will make the skin nice and crispy). Cover the duck with the salt and marjoram leaves and let it rest for 2 hours before roasting.

Stuff the duck with 2 of the apples, the whole onion and the orange.

Bake the duck in an oven at 220ºC for 20 mins, then lower heat to 170ºC and bake for a further 40 minutes. During baking, baste the duck with its own juices.

Remove the duck from the oven and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Carve into portions.

Fry the remaining apple wedges in butter and sugar. Once caramelised, add the marjoram.

Arrange the apples in the middle of a plate, top with duck and decorate with fresh marjoram.

Serve with cranberry sauce.

There is a typing error in a recipe. Duck should be cooked in oven for further 1 hour and 40 minutes, not just 40 minutes.

Sealing meat

Sealing meat does not actually help to keep the juices inside the meat, it does however add a great charred flavour and colour to the meat. Sear cuts of meat in a hot frying pan or roasting dish over medium to high heat.
