Various kinds of game and poultry play an important part in Russian cooking. This is hardly surprising, as Russian forests have long been famous for their wealth of wildlife, and hunting has always been a form of relaxation as well as a way of obtaining meal.
Stuffed duck is a popular dish on special occasions.
How to cook stuffed duck:
1.)Stuff the dressed duck with apples and buckwheat kasha. Buckwheat kasha is eaten not only at breakfast or as a side dish, but is also often used to stuff duck, because it complements the flavour of the duck meat extremely well.
2.) Sew up the opening in the stomach with thread. Place the duck on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about one and a half hours, basting it with its own fat and juices.
3.) When the duck is cooked, remove the thread, take out some of the apples and kasha,
place them around the duck and garnish with red bilberries steeped in water.
