It doesn't stretch that far but one duck did 5 of us as duck pancakes with strips of celery. The trick I think to stop it from totally mucking up the oven is to very thoroughly prick the skin of the duck and go through to the fat underneath.

Don't give up on duck you can pad it out with plumbs and loads of veg and the scrapings and the stock make a wonderfully rich risotto.<br /><br />We stopped eating out a couple of years ago when our bill was £80.00 for a very mediocre meal. We now treat ourselves to fab ingredients every other week. Perfect.

I had invited a friend over and thank God I did not follow my mind to invite more than 1 person over. We had enough duck for just the 2 of us and 1 other person. Lesson learnt.<br /><br />In terms of crisping up the skin.

No, it's not frugal! They look large, but there's a lot of bone and fat. It is very nice once in a while though. The carcass makes great stock for duck soup, and if you collect the fat that runs off it while roasting, you can keep it for delicious fried or roast potatoes.Veronicahttp://www.larecettedujour.org/noreply@blogger.com
