A Different Thanksgiving
At Sidecar's suggestion, we're roasting a duck for Thanksgiving. I love this, because I really love duck, but never get to eat it at home, because my brother doesn't like it, so we never have it for holidays.
I know nothing about roasting a duck, and only just roasted a chicken for the first time ever a couple weeks ago, so I am doing lots of research. I want to make this recipe (duck with dates, radicchio and honey)--but it calls duck breasts, not a whole stuffed duck, and am a little afraid of adapting it.
This one with prunes and juniper berries will use up my stash of juniper, which might be nice as I don't know what else to do with them (besides distill my own gin...) I love the idea of this olive and fennel duck (below), but Myrna doesn't like olives much...so another year.
Pictured above is a roasted duck with winter vegetables from Australia. Hmmm... That might be the winner.
