Roast Duck Halves

Contributed by: Melinda

Figure one duck per two people.

2 ducks, split in half down the backbone
Olive Oil
1 orange, quartered
1 onion, quartered
6 garlic cloves, peeled and lightly mashed
3-4 sprigs thyme
Salt & Pepper

Heat Olive Oil in a heavy duty dutch oven
Preheat oven to 400
When oil is hot, add 2 duck halves skin side down
Brown well - you are rendering some of the fat in this process
Brown all sides, then remove and drain on paper towels
Repeat for other two halves
Meanwhile, in a baking dish large enough to hold all four duck halves, place the orange, onion, garlic and thyme
Cover vegetables with a roasting rack
Place browned duch halves, skin side up on top of the roasting rack and roast at 400 for 30 minutes - reduce heat to 375 and continue roasting for another 30 minutes or until done.
