✅ Ingredients:

• 1 whole duck (about 2–2.5 kg)
• 1 lemon (washed and quartered)
• 4–5 garlic cloves (crushed, with skin on)
• Fresh rosemary, thyme, marjoram (or dried)
• Himalayan salt, pepper
• 1 tsp smoked paprika

• A few dried mushrooms (pre-soaked)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Prepare the duck – clean it well and pat it dry with paper towels.
2. Season the duck – rub the skin and inside cavity with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, and herbs.
3. Stuffing (optional) – place lemon quarters, herbs, onion, and garlic inside the duck for added flavor.
4. Butter under the skin – carefully loosen the skin over the breast and insert butter under it to keep the meat juicy.
5. Roasting:
   • Roast at 160°C (320°F) for about 2–2.5 hours, ideally on a wire rack over a roasting pan.
   • Baste the duck every 30 minutes with its own fat.
   • For the last 20 minutes, increase the temperature to 200°C (390°F) to crisp up the skin.
