Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 2

    Season the Duck

    Rinse the duck under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Rub the duck all over with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Herb Mixture

    In a bowl, mix together rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Rub the herb mixture under the skin and inside the cavity of the duck.

    Stuff the Duck

    Stuff the cavity of the duck with quartered onion, chopped carrots, and chopped celery.

    Roasting

    Place the duck breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  6. 6

    Resting

    Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
