Directions

Juicy, succulent, flavorful, crispy skin – all these adjectives are very helpful when describing this amazing Pekin Duck! This bird is so grateful for the treatment it received, it rewards you with
one of the most memorable dinners ever!

* Tanoreen Spices. I bought them in Brooklyn’s Bay Ridge Middle Eastern restaurant, Tanoreen. It’s a blend of allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, nutmeg, cardamom, cumin, coriander, ginger and cloves. You can make your own mix using some or all of these spices. They go perfectly with orange and fresh ginger!

Steps

1 Done	Wash bird under running water, pat dry with paper towels and cut off excess fat; trim off excess skin around neck area. Prick or score duck skin all over except legs. Try to go through skin and fat but not to cut meat.
2 Done	Mix together salt, pepper, spices, orange zest and ginger. Rub duck with the mixture inside and outside. Place orange wedges, onion wedges and ginger slices inside the duck cavity. Place duck into roasting pan and refrigerate overnight, uncovered,
3 Done	The next day, take duck from the refrigerator and bring it to room temperature. Heat oven to 425°F . Add some water (about 1 quarter) to the roasting pan and add 1 cup of orange juice. I also added wing tips and a neck there. Place roasting pan with duck breast side up in the heated oven for about 30 min.
4 Done	Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, bring all glaze ingredients to a simmer. Then reduce until you have a syrup-like consistency, about 10 min. Remove from heat.
5 Done	After 30 min of roasting, remove the duck from the oven, reduce temperature to 375°F. Turn duck breast side down and roast for another 40 min. Then turn duck breast side up and roast another 40 min. Don't forget to baste duck with the liquid from the bottom of your roasting pan. If the bird is getting too dark, cover it loosely with aluminum foil and continue roasting. Take your duck out the oven and brush it with the glaze. Roast for another 10 min. Remove duck from the oven, cover with aluminum foil and let rest for about 10-15 min. Carve, serve and enjoy!
