Ingredients

  • 1 mastente
  • 200 g sea salt
  • 750 g goose lard
  • 4 sprigs Rosemary
  • 1 untreated orange
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp black peppercorns
  • 500 g shallots
  • 6 large white bread slices (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash duck, pat dry and cut into 6 parts.

  2. 2.

    1) First separate the legs at the hip joint. Cut tendons below the shin to the bone so the meat can contract during cooking. Slice the body along the breastbone.

  3. 3.

    2) Separate the breast from the bone with a sharp knife and split into two pieces. Snap off the wing tips with a kitchen cleaver. Cut each breast piece crosswise again (one with wing, one without). Leave the shallots whole, just peel the skin.

    3) Place duck parts in a pot, add the shallots and season everything. Crush peppercorns in a mortar. Remove needles from rosemary. Add rosemary needles and pepper to the pot.
