Today we have a duck again - beautiful, ruddy, glossy … A step-by-step recipe with a photo does not require supernatural ingredients and special cooking skills. Read this review on how to cook fig duck in lemon soy sauce. Video recipe.
The extraordinary taste of duck meat gives any housewife unlimited possibilities. Do not be afraid to experiment with it. Feel free to choose products for sauce, filling and side dish. Fruits and berries, confitures and berry jellies will add solemnity and aesthetic beauty to the serving, as well as enhance the taste of the dish … And the side dishes can be very different, but always leave the emphasis on the main product - duck.
It should be borne in mind that since duck meat has a pronounced specific smell and taste, it is not combined with all products. For example, rice noodles or potatoes are suitable for a side dish with a neutral taste, and for stuffing fruits and berries with a sour taste (apples, oranges, grapes, cranberries, plums, pomegranates, figs, tangerines …). Duck meat can be marinated with balsamic vinegar, orange or other citrus juice, or a mixture of these. A mixture of honey and soy sauce will give a beautiful dark color to the crust on the bird. Today I propose to cook duck stuffed with figs in lemon-soy sauce. The meat turns out to be very tasty, as it is saturated with the aroma of figs. It is juicy and light, and in combination with nutritious salads will be in demand by all guests.

Step-by-step cooking of duck with figs in lemon-soy sauce, recipe with photo:
1. Pour mayonnaise into a small saucepan.
2. Add soy sauce to mayonnaise.
3. Wash the lemon, dry it with a paper towel, cut it in half and squeeze out the juice. Be careful not to get any lemon pits.
4. Stir the sauce until smooth so that all food is evenly distributed.
5. Wash the duck and scrape the skin to remove the black tan. Remove excess internal fat, and then spread the marinade well on all sides and inside. If desired and time available, leave it to marinate from one hour to a day. If marinating for a long time, keep the duck in the refrigerator.
6. Place the poultry on a baking tray.
7. Wash the figs, dry them with a paper towel and stuff the bird with them. If any fruit remains, place it around the bird. Cover the duck with figs in lemon-soy sauce with cling foil and send it to bake in a heated oven to 180 degrees for 1.5-2 hours. The roasting time is calculated as follows: for 1 kg of carcass - 40 minutes, plus 20 minutes. If you want the poultry to have a golden brown crust, then remove the foil 20-30 minutes before the end of cooking. Serve the finished duck hot, freshly cooked.
