Marinade Preparation:
-
In a bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, cloves, peppercorns, bay leaves, and orange slices. Add enough water to cover the duck.
Marinating the Duck
-
Place the duck in the marinade, ensuring it is fully submerged. Seal with cling film and refrigerate overnight for 24 hours.
Preparing the Duck
-
Remove the duck from the marinade and pat dry thoroughly. Discard the marinade.
Stuffing and Seasoning
-
Stuff the cavity of the duck with onion, celery, salt, pepper, orange zest, rosemary, and garlic. Truss the duck with kitchen twine to maintain its shape.
Seasoning and Roasting
-
Rub the duck with oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Optionally, sprinkle rosemary over the surface.
Roasting Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to high heat (around 220°C). Place the duck on a roasting rack in a baking tray, breast side up.
-
Roast for 30 minutes at high heat to crisp the skin, then reduce the heat to 180°C and continue roasting for 3 hours, basting with rendered duck fat every 30 minutes.
Final Glaze
-
Mix Worcestershire sauce, honey, duck fat, and orange zest. Brush the duck with this glaze during the last 10 minutes of roasting for a glossy finish.
Serve
-
Once roasted to perfection, let the duck rest for a few minutes before carving. Serve with seasoned rice and garnish with fresh orange slices.
