Broiled Duckling with Green Mayonnaise
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point. The book gives no cooking times either; the times in the steps were added in transcription, so check for doneness rather than trusting the clock.
Prepare
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the duckling with salt and pepper.
Place the duckling on a broiler pan.
Cook and serve
Broil the duckling until golden brown and cooked through, about 20-30 minutes.
Serve with green mayonnaise on the side.
Transcribed from a scanned cookbook and modernised for today's kitchens. Where the book gave no heat or time, or said "a moderate oven", the temperatures and times here may be modern equivalents rather than the book's own figures.

What each ingredient does
- Duckling
- Provides the main protein and rich fat that bastes the meat as it cooks.
- Green mayonnaise
- Adds a cool, creamy, acidic contrast to the rich, fatty duckling.
The step that matters
Broil until golden brown and cooked through. Duck has a thick layer of fat under the skin that must render out, and the meat must reach a safe internal temperature. Watching the color alone can mislead, so check that the meat is cooked through before serving.
