Mustard roasted duck

Ingredients

1 Whole duck

60 ml (1/4 cu Old fashioned Maille mustard

30 ml (2 tbsp) Maille apple cider vinegar

30 ml (2 tbsp) Maple syrup

250 ml (1 cup) Fresh cranberries

2 to 3 Large sweet potatoes, diced

30 ml (2 tbsp) Olive oil

To taste Salt and pepper

To taste fresh tarragon

Steps

1 Pre-Heat oven to 425°F.

2 Take the duck out of wrapping, pet dry and with a sharp knife, remove all excess fat from the neck and legs.

5 Transfer the duck to your wire rack, then in the roaster.

6 Cook for 45 minutes, or until golden.

7 Remove from oven and turn heat down to 275°F.

3 In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and a good amount (be generous) of salt and pepper.

4 Spread the mustard sauce all over the duck, covering all the fat of the duck.

8 Cover the duck with aluminum foil and return to oven for another 3 hours.

7 During that time, mix together the diced sweet potatoes, olive oil, cranberries and a good amount of salt and pepper.

8 Transfer to the roaster so it cooks with the duck when the duck has 30 minutes left.

9 Let the duck rest, uncovered, but close to the oven for 15 minutes before carving and serving.

10 Add a generous amount of tarragon all over the dish right before serving.
