After roasting in beer, duck meat becomes juicy, tender and lean. The recipe is simple, it takes a little over 2 hours to prepare. The dish is suitable for both a festive table and a family dinner. It’s also a great snack with vodka.
Beer should be light and not very strong, otherwise the duck will be bitter. It is advisable to use sweet and sour hard apples, they are needed only for flavor. Instead of 3 apples, you can take 2-3 oranges.
Ingredients:
- duck carcass – 1 piece (1,5-2 kg);
- apples – 6-8 pieces;
- light beer – 1 liter (approximately);
- coriander, ground black pepper, salt – to taste.
