An unusual way with duck from Romania.
I have amended the quantities for 2 people, the original recipe can be found here. Joint the duck crown to remove the breasts and trim some of the skin so it's not too fatty. I included the carcass in the procedure just to add more flavour. There is not much meat on it but it might make some picking for sandwiches later!
I used vegetable stock in this version to give more flavour. Although I have plenty of fresh marjoram I used dried oregano as I don't find the fresh herb imparts much flavour.
This recipe was delicious and the duck was superbly tender, even after cooking for 40 minutes. Not a bit greasy either.
