Ingredients

Spices and condiments	3 tbsp. l.

Cooking method

This is how it was cooked not only in apples, but also served with Antonov apples, though fried, albeit in duck fat.
And they cooked it at home, in an ordinary frying pan and without any frills. In fact - Food is simple and affordable.
No one argues that the duck is a fat bird. Rather, I would say that there is usually a lot of fat around the carcass of this bird. Why such a quality is clear. The bird is waterfowl and does not live in warm pools. This, if in nature. And nobody wants to freeze. But this is in nature, but in the household…. Anyone like, but I have them, ducks, Peking, such a breed of poultry. Lean, fleshy and very tender. And they are not greasy because they are only seventy days old. And we fed them with cottage cheese, from fat-free, though milk, grain and grass. And they walked under the sun. Correct, in general, ducks.
And, of course, apples. Antonovskys. Crunchy, juicy, hard. You take a bite, and from it, from the apple juice splashes. It is sour, and sweet, and tart, and ..., in general - such ANTONOVSKY !!! And I'm not trying to convey the scent in words. My skill is not enough here ... not enough.
Actually, today we need only breasts and legs from a duck carcass. We wash them well and soak them in water for a while. To get the extra blood out, and all that kind of pulled away. Literally twenty minutes.
The duck, or rather the parts that we cooked, must be pickled. No frills. Exclusively needed items. Salt, pepper and garlic. Nothing more. Pour it all over the duck and mix well. And then leave it for a couple of hours, at least.
Apples. Peel, clean the insides. And cut into halves, and pieces from the heels - these are the slices.
Cooking.
Fry the duck pieces. On "just a frying pan." No oil and any other spices. Heat the pan and fry the duck pieces.
Until a beautiful crust. Here's one.
So that this fry is well manifested on both sides. And a hot fat was formed. It will be very useful to us.
And pour thinly sliced apple slices into the pan and add a little water.
Stir and cover the pan with a lid. Let's make a quiet light. Very small.
Let it continue to cook in the stewing mode.
And while this process continues, let's return to the frying pan with halved apples.
We will fry these halves of apples on a fire "above average" !!! It is to FRY !!! And not, for example, there to bake or bake.
Put half of the apples in a separate small frying pan and fill them with fat, which was formed in the pan with duck breasts - legs.
First on one side, and then on the other.
Yes. In the process, do not forget all the same apples, and turn over and lift. So that it is soaked in fat. This is VERY needed. I'm telling you for sure.
And in the main frying pan, we have such a picture.
Here. We spread it on a plate ...
… We cut and eat… we cut off a piece of fried apple, then the ducks and… eat!
Angela for you at your meal!
And a remark. That is, an addition. Fried apple ... it turned out to be such self-sufficient FOOD !!! ... that there are simply no words. The first glass of cold bread juice eaten with this apple right away ... that is, not so. Having bitten the contents of the first glass with this apple, a feeling of complete harmony arose in the body and, naturally, this very organism, which did not even touch the duck directly, had a desire. Which one? Yes, very simple.REPEAT! Which was done right there. Which is what I wish for you.
No seriously. Apples ... it turned out something. I highly recommend it.
