Homemade Sausage

Smoked Almond Praline

Method

Duck Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the dry-aged duck dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper. Rub olive oil all over the duck.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Duck

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent. Add chopped sage and dried apricots, then stir in breadcrumbs. Mix well and stuff this mixture into the cavity of the duck.

Sausage Preparation

  1. 3

    Make Homemade Sausage

    In a bowl, combine ground pork, salt, black pepper, fennel seeds, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well and form small sausage patties. Cook them in a skillet until browned and cooked through.

Praline Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Smoked Almond Praline

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Allow it to cook undisturbed until it turns a golden brown color. Quickly stir in the chopped smoked almonds and pour onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let it cool and harden.

Roasting the Duck

  1. 5

    Roast the Duck

    Place the stuffed duck on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste occasionally with the drippings.

  2. 6

    Serve the Duck

    Once cooked, let the duck rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with the homemade sausage and sprinkle with the smoked almond praline.
