Method

6 soļi
  1. Trim the livers of sinews and any green patches. Chop the veal, livers and bacon very finely by hand, or pulse them in a food processor to a coarse paste. Keep it cold.
  2. Mix in the yolk, lemon zest, allspice, breadcrumbs and salt.
  3. Whisk the egg white to stiff peaks and fold it in last, gently.
  4. Heat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan). Prick the duck skin all over without piercing the meat, and salt it inside and out. Spoon the stuffing loosely into the cavity and close it with a skewer.
  5. Roast for 2–2¼ hours, pouring off the fat every 30–40 minutes, until the legs are tender, the skin is crisp and the centre of the stuffing reaches at least 74 °C.
  6. Rest for 15 minutes. Scoop out the stuffing, which slices like a soft terrine, and carve the duck.

Notes

What the book says vs. what we added

the book chops a little meat "from the breast" very finely with some goose or duck livers, and adds finely chopped bacon fat, egg yolk, chopped lemon peel, allspice, white breadcrumbs, egg white beaten to a foam and a little salt. The choice of meat, all the amounts, the oven and times are ours.

"Meat from the breast"

the book doesn't say which animal. We read it as veal breast, a usual forcemeat cut (02-022), but chicken or duck breast works too.

Livers

poultry livers can carry Campylobacter and must be cooked through. The stuffing must reach at least 74 °C in the centre, with no pink left. If you'd rather not rely on the inside of the bird, bake the stuffing in a small buttered dish at 180 °C for 35–40 minutes.

Allspice

the book's englisch gewirz (German Englisch Gewürz) is allspice.

Compare

02-077 stuffs ducks with a different mixture of gizzard, liver, beef and anchovies, without beaten egg white.
