The classic filling for roasting poultry is potatoes. This product is in perfect harmony with duck meat, as well as sauerkraut, fruits and other products. In order for the duck to turn out not only tasty, but also beautiful, cut off excess fat from the tail, legs and edges of the wings, as they burn under the influence of heat.

- two spoons of honey;
- a spoonful of mustard;
- two tablespoons of lemon juice;
- three cloves of garlic;
- bulb;

- Combine honey, mustard and citrus juice. Soak the prepared mixture in the duck along with salt and leave to marinate for at least 2 hours.
- To make the filling, first boil the potatoes and add onion and garlic.
- We stuff the marinated bird with potato filling, put it in a mold, cover with foil and put it in the oven for 1.5 hours, half an hour before the duck is ready, open it slightly.

- Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp
- Tariyaki sauce 4 tbsp (optional)

1. Before making and baking the duck in the oven, you need to marinate it. This is very important, because if this is not done in advance, it will not be juicy and soft, so decide for yourself. It’s better to find and devote a lot of time and make it divine.
So, take a bowl and put 2 tablespoons of mustard in it, followed by tariyaki sauce, soy sauce and honey. Then add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and squeeze the garlic cloves through a press.
Interesting! If you like your duck sweeter, then add two tablespoons of honey instead of 1 tablespoon.

Place one red apple inside and cut it into 6 slices. Then, when the bird is baking, add another green apple.
3. Place it in the resulting sauce, dip it well and pour it thoroughly. Coat the inside with marinade too.
Leave in this position, covering of course with a lid, for 1 day. During this time, turn it over occasionally.

5. Now peel the potatoes and place them next to the bird, it will bathe in fat and bake for 40 minutes.
Important! Potatoes should be small in size.

Making duck with buckwheat at home
I would also like to say that there is nothing better than poultry, store-bought duck is of course good, but your own is always better, it is fattier and healthier. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to get one somewhere, then go for it.
Today we are preparing it with buckwheat so that we can have both a side dish and a main dish at once. Nearby you can place a quick and easy Iceberg or Pearl salad.
We will need:
- duck - 2-3 kg
- chicken liver - 200 g
- champignons – 200 g
- buckwheat – 140 g
- onions - 2 pcs.
- vegetable oil - 2 tbsp
- salt and ground pepper - to taste
- bay leaf - 1-2 pcs.
Cooking method:
1. So, in front of you is a bird, wipe it with salt and pepper at your discretion. Of course, you can make a special marinade, but this recipe does not require it. If you want, you can take it from another previous version.
In this form, the bird should lie in a bag in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
2. Now make the buckwheat filling, boil the buckwheat in a saucepan, lightly salt until done. If you don’t know how to cook buckwheat properly, then look here.
3. Meanwhile, cut the onions into small pieces along with the mushrooms. The liver that is left from the duck will also work; it will need to be chopped into pieces.
Now everything needs to be fried in a frying pan, first pour vegetable oil into it and fry the onion until golden, then add the champignons and fry until tender over low heat.
In another frying pan, fry the liver, add salt to taste. It cooks quite quickly so you don't overcook it.
Then mix all the resulting ingredients, namely buckwheat, mushrooms and liver and stir.
4. Stuff our duck with the filling, and then sew up the belly with threads that are specially designed for baking.
5. Place in a bag or baking bag, tie the ends with a special plastic device and off you go, as they say, into the oven for roasting.
