Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Pat the duck dry, remove excess fat and prick the skin in the fleshy areas.
- Season the inside with salt and pepper, then stuff it with the onion, apple wedges, prune and sage.
- Brush the skin with oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme, then place the duck on a rack over a dish.
- Roast for 30 minutes at 200 °C, then lower to 160 °C and continue for about 1 hour 30 minutes, basting with the fat every 30 minutes.
- Check the cooking: the temperature at the thickest part of the thigh should reach 75 °C.
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the red cabbage, sweat it in butter with the grated apples, vinegar and sugar, then simmer for 40 minutes, covered.
- Let the duck rest for 15 minutes before carving, then serve with the red cabbage and potatoes.
