Roast Duck with Port Garlic Sauce

For Sauce
1 5-pound duck, fresh or frozen, thawed (neck, heart and gizzard reserved)
1 medium red onion,
quartered 3 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped
4 1/2 cups spring water
1/4 stick butter
6 large garlic cloves, sliced
1 cup ruby Port
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 tablespoon Texas Pete Hot Sauce

For Duck
1/3 cup lite soy sauce
3 tablespoons course Dijon mustard
6 large garlic cloves, pressed
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme

Make sauce:
Cut off duck wing tips at joint. Combine neck, heart, gizzard and wing tips in large saucepan. Add onion, Texas Pete, carrot and celery to pan. Add 4 1/2 cups water and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour. Strain stock into medium saucepan. Boil stock until reduced to 1 cup, about 15 minutes.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and sauté until golden, about 2 minutes. Add Port and boil 5 minutes. Add reduced duck stock and boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 8 minutes. Mix remaining 1 tablespoon butter and flour in small bowl. Whisk into sauce and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute. Season sauce with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)

Make duck:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Trim excess fat from cavity of duck. Using fork, pierce duck skin in several places. Place duck, breast side up, on rack in large roasting pan. Brush soy sauce over duck. Mix mustard and pressed garlic in small bowl. Brush mustard mixture over duck. Mix salt, pepper and thyme in another small bowl. Sprinkle spice-herb mixture over duck and in cavity. Roast duck 45 minutes. Turn duck and roast, breast side down, 30 minutes. Turn duck and roast, breast side up, until duck is deep golden brown and cooked through, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer duck to platter. Serve with sauce.

I would serve a nice helping of Wild Rice and a side dish consisting of a nice veggie such as Broccoli and cheese, A nice Merlot wine, and for dessert a nice Baked apple with cinnamon sauce.

Serves 4.
