INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • Wash the duck, rub it with lemon, and rub salt and pepper into the skin along with the thyme. Put additional thyme, slices of lemon, and the onion into the cavity. Tie the legs together and twist the wings under the back.
  • Place the duck on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and roast 2-1/2 hours in a preheated oven at 350°F.
  • Remove from the oven, prick the skin thoroughly with a fork, increase the heat to 500°F, and return the duck to the oven for another 15 minutes to brown until the fat oozes out. Turn the duck once or twice during this period.
  • Remove to a hot platter and garnish with parsley or with candied orange slices or tiny green peas.
