Roasted tender duck in the oven
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Tender duck can be served with any side dish such as pasta, cereals, mashed potatoes, or a fresh vegetable salad. The key is to braise it in the oven at a temperature no higher than 180 degrees for at least 40 minutes. By the way, duck meat is especially delicious with berry sauces. The ready dish can now be served at the table.
