To Roast Wild-fowl

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.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Place the wild fowl in a roasting pan without stuffing.

  3. Roast for a shorter time than common ducks, ensuring they are cooked through.

  4. Before carving, draw the knife along the breast to make slicing easier.
