Instructions

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Wash the duck thoroughly and pat it dry. Carefully pierce the skin on the breast and thighs in several places (being careful not to cut into the meat) so the fat can drain more easily.
  2. 2Season the inside and outside of the duck generously with salt and pepper. Stuff the inside with apples, orange, rosemary and thyme. Tie the legs together with kitchen string.
  3. 3Place the duck breast-side down on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for 60 minutes, then carefully turn it over and roast for another 60–90 minutes. Baste it several times with its own juices during roasting.
  4. 4Meanwhile, prepare the cabbage: sauté the onion in oil in a pan. Add the grated cabbage, cumin and grated apple. Pour in the wine and vinegar.
  5. 5Cover the cabbage and simmer over low heat for 30–40 minutes, until softened and the flavors have combined. Add a spoonful of water if needed.
  6. 6For the last 15 minutes of roasting, increase the oven temperature to 220 °C so the skin becomes extremely crispy.
  7. 7Remove the roasted duck from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serve with the braised red cabbage.
