Peking Duck
Peking Duck
Loosen the skin from the duck by massaging it, pulling the skin away where possible. Blanch the duck for a couple of minutes. Hang it up to dry for 4 hours, then baste it with sherry or with honey-water 1/2 and 1/2 mixture. Hang it up again to dry for 4 hours. Roast duck using the following times and temperatures: 30 min. at 375F, then 1 hour at 250F, then 30 min at 400F The rationale for this I'm not sure of, but all recipes claim that changing the oven temperature makes a vast difference. To serve - slice off skin and cut it into 1"x2" pieces. Cut meat into similar-sized pieces. Provide 2" scallion lengths (green and white part), hoisin sauce (canned or bottled), and mandarin pancakes. Each diner rolls a bit of meat, a bit of skin, and a scallion length into a pancake that has been spread with about a teaspoon of hoisin sauce with the scallion and eats with fingers -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Patricia Hill at .
