Need a good duck\duckling\goose recipe

[mr_jil]

OK, gonna try and cook a nice meal for the lady, and I was thinking something different, and she said that she likes duck. I've found young ducklings and goose at the supermarket, so does anyone have any good recipes for one of those? Thanks.

I've posted it before. It's what I make for thanksgiving.

1 three- or four-pound duck
1 medium onion
1/4 C dry wine
1/4 C beef or other stock
1/4 C drippings from the roasted duck
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp each black pepper and powdered ginger
Salt to taste
1/3 C brown mustard

Preheat oven to 450º.

Place duck on a rack in a roasting pan, and put in oven. Reduce heat to 350º, and roast for twenty-five to thirty minutes per pound. Remove duck from oven and allow to cool for about fifteen minutes.

With a ladle or basting nozzle, draw off a quarter cup of drippings from the pan.

Mince the onion small. In a frying pan, over medium heat, sauté the onion until translucent.

In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine onion, wine, stock, drippings, cinnamon, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for about ten minutes.

Remove syrup from heat, and stir in mustard, ginger, and salt.

Place duck on a platter for serving, pour sauce into a serving bowl, and serve them separately.

Yields one cup of sauce. Serves four to six.
