The Famous Duck with Lemons Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 whole duck
• 2 lemons
• 1 onion
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 2 sprigs of rosemary
• 2 tbsp of olive oil
• Salt and black pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut off any excess fat from the duck and rinse it under cold water. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
3. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze the juice into a bowl.
4. Peel and roughly chop the onion and garlic and place them in the bowl with the lemon juice.
5. Remove the leaves from the rosemary sprigs and add them to the bowl.
6. Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and stir everything together.
7. Place the duck in a roasting pan and prick the skin all over with a fork. This will help the fat to drain out during cooking.
8. Pour the lemon and herb mixture over the duck, making sure to cover it completely.
9. Cover the roasting pan with foil and place it in the preheated oven.
10. Cook the duck for 1 and a half hours, or until it is cooked through and the juices run clear.
11. Remove the foil from the roasting pan and return it to the oven for an additional 20-30 minutes to crisp up the skin.
12. Remove the duck from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
