Useful Tips
- It is better to take a young duck - 2-3 months. The age of the bird can be judged by the color of the fat - in young individuals it is light, in older ones it is darker. You can also put pressure on the sternum: in young birds, it ends with cartilage and easily bends, while in old birds it is already ossified, and does not feed when pressed.
- Optimal duck weight - up to 3 kg. If the bird weighs more, then there is a risk that its weight increased due to fat.
- The skin of the bird should be uniform in color, without any stains or damage.
- For the filling, instead of quince, you can take apples - prepare them the same way.
- Oranges are suitable for this purpose: they must be washed well, rinsed with boiling water, washed again with a brush or washcloth to remove the wax layer, and cut into rings of medium thickness.
- The duck goes well with buckwheat and rice porridge, mushrooms, prunes, figs, raisins, nuts. You can choose any of these fillings or combine them. For example, buckwheat porridge with mushrooms or rice with raisins and prunes.
- Adyghe salt can be replaced with Svan or ordinary table salt. Svan salt is a mixture of salt and ground seeds of coriander, fenugreek, caraway and dill, chopped dried garlic, ground hot red pepper and Imereti saffron.
