Roast Capon with Cresses
Ingredients
Directions
The book gives no oven temperature. The 350°F (175°C) in the steps was added when the recipe was transcribed, as a starting point.
Roast
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Truss the capon and roast it until it is a nice golden color, about 45 minutes.
Serve
Serve the roasted capon with watercress arranged around it.
