Muscovy Duck Recipe
Crispy Roasted Duck with Fig and Port sauce

  • 1 (four pound) Muscovy duck
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth, warm
  • 1 cup ruby port
  • 1 star anise, broken into pieces
  • 3 tablespoons Adriatic fig spread
  • Lemon juice to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

    Serves 6 to 8
    This breed of duck hails from South America, where the warm climate helps it to develop less body fat than most other duck breeds. Muscovy ducks also have a higher serving yield because they have considerably more meat on the bone.

    Method
    Preheat oven to 250°F. Rinse and dry duck; trim off any loose fat. Season inside and out with salt, then pierce skin all over with the tip of a sharp knife, being careful not to pierce the meat. Transfer duck to a rack set inside a roasting pan, arranging it breast side down. Roast for 2 hours, then drain off accumulated fat, turn duck over and increase oven temperature to 350°F. Continue to roast until skin is crispy and brown, 20 to 30 minutes more.

    Meanwhile, prepare sauce. Melt butter in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté until soft. Add flour and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, for 1 minute. Whisk in broth, port and anise and bring to a simmer. Continue to simmer until reduced by half, then stir in fig spread and cook, stirring, until sauce begins to thicken. Stir in lemon juice, salt and apper. Strain; discard star anise.

    Carve duck and transfer to a platter. Serve sauce on the side.
