The most popular and well-known fillings are: potatoes, rice, lingonberries, buckwheat with mushrooms, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fruits, dried fruits and apples.
Before cooking, the carcass is well washed, dried, marinated and rubbed inside and out with salt and spices. Then they fill it with a filling, sew the edges with a thread and send the bird to the oven. You can bake it on a regular baking sheet with high sides, or in a roaster.
The most important thing in this recipe is to get a juicy, soft and rich taste. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately calculate the cooking time of the duck.
