Roast Duck with Dried Cherry Sauce

Thursday, July 31st, 2003

Prep time: 45 minutes | Start to finish: 3 hours | To make ahead,
see below
Tired of the same old turkey on the holiday table? This could be the
year to switch to duck. It’s easy to cook and practically impossible
to dry out—it stays moist and reheats well. Almost all the fat is
under the skin and drips off during cooking. We serve the duck with
an incredibly rich-tasting gravy, adding port and dried fruit to a
giblet stock for sophistication in seconds.

2 ducks, 5 to 5 1/2 pounds each, thawed if frozen (see Tip)
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
12 cloves garlic, peeled
12 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried

Info on fennel with recipes

Thursday, July 31st, 2003

Fennel

There are two main types of this aromatic plant, both with pale green,
celery-like stems and bright green, feathery foliage. Florence fennel,
also called finocchio, is cultivated throughout the Mediterranean and
in the United States. It has a broad, bulbous base that’s treated like
a vegetable. Both the base and stems can be eaten raw in salads or
cooked in a variety of methods such as braising, sauteing or in soups.
The fragrant, graceful greenery can be used as a garnish or snipped
like dill and used for a last-minute flavor enhancer.
Common fennel is the variety from which the oval, greenish-brown
fennel seeds come. The seeds are available whole and ground and are
used in both sweet and savory foods. Though common fennel is bulbless,
its stems and greenery are used in the same ways as those of Florence
fennel.
