Marcus Wareing's braised and roasted whole duck recipe is accompanied by fresh spring onions, cucumber and Chinese pancakes. You could also serve the duck in a warm salad with cashew nuts, spinach and noodles.
Begin this duck recipe by heating a large saucepan over a moderate heat. When hot, add the duck and brown all over, allowing a lot of the fat to render off (straining some off)
When golden all over, remove from the pan. Add the mirepoix ingredients to the same pan and brown well. From the glazing ingredients add the Madeira and allow to simmer until it has a syrup-like consistency
Keep on a very gentle simmer for an hour and a half, then carefully remove the duck using two slotted spoons, and place on to a roasting tray lined with foil

Preheat the oven to 200°C/Gas mark 6, ready for the duck. Strain the cooking liquor though a fine strainer into a clean saucepan and bring to the boil. Turn down to a gentle simmer and reduce by two-thirds to form a gravy-like sauce
6
Brush the duck all over with a little of the sauce, setting aside the rest for serving, then place in the oven for 10 minutes, until slightly crisp on the outside

Carve the duck and serve with the sauce, some Chinese pancakes, cucumber and spring onion
