If some of you remember, last week I was asking what to do with some whole ducks. I decided on the pot roasting method, so here are the steps and pictures:

First, trimmed all the ducks.



Then, browned them, deglazing with the bottle of red next to the pot:



Next, added a large while onion, some diced tomatoes (don't kill me here, I like tomatoes), green onion, several cloves of garlic, chicken stock, water, and a couple bay leaves.



Popped in the oven, covered, on 350 for close to 2 1/2 hrs.



Plated with "crushed" red potatoes and smothered both in the gravy from the roast.



Critics welcome.

No clue why they're upside down. They're right-side-up on my hosting site.

Did you remove the skin from the ducks?

Some fresh French bread to dip in that gravy would be nice right now

Removed the skin while trying to leave fat where I could. I also forgot to mention that I had some bacon fat left over from breakfast which I poured over the top before covering and putting in the over. I figured it couldn't hurt.

For the stock I poured enough to cover the ducks about 1/2-way. I poured some water in too for good measure.

All good. The bacon fat is always a good call. If the birds are well plucked, you might try them with the skin on, too, as that can be a good source of flavor. Looks good.
