How to Make Roasted Duck the French Way

Ingredients

• 1 whole duck (around 4-5 kg)
• 1 head of green garlic
• 1 sprig of parsley
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of thyme
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup of red wine
• 1 cup of white wine
• 2 cups of chicken broth
• 1/2 cup of flour
• 1 tsp of nutmeg

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Place the duck on a rack in a roasting pan. Add the green garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pan.
3. Film the duck with oil and place it in the oven. Pour the red wine into the roasting pan and cover it with foil.
4. Boil the chicken broth in a separate pot and let it simmer until it reaches boiling point. Let it cook for about 1 hour.
5. Add the flour and nutmeg to the pan and stir until everything is well combined. Transfer the mixture to the oven and roast for about 1 hour.
