Ingredients

Step cooking

1. Gut the duck (if it has entrails), rinse the carcass well. Dry with a paper towel. Trim excess fat, ponytail and excess skin in the neck. Put the bird carcass in a deep bowl. When choosing a duck, pay attention to its size - the carcass should fit in the bowl of your slow cooker.
   
2. Combine 2 cloves of garlic, squeezed through a garlic press or finely grated, with 1 tablespoon of salt and a hill, 1 teaspoon of black pepper (without a hill). The resulting mixture rub the carcass of the bird inside and out.
   
3. Wash 1 medium lemon with a brush. While pushing the fruit, roll it on a flat surface so that it is easier to squeeze the juice. Cut citrus into 2 halves. With squeezed juice, pour the meat inside and out. Put the halves of the lemon inside the abdomen of the bird. Turn the carcass breast-down so that the dripping juice with marinade saturates the breast fillet. Tighten the bird bowl with cling film. Leave the duck to marinate for about 1 hour. If desired, you can pickle the bird in another way, for example, in liquid marinade (the recipe is not given).
   
4. Wash 3 green apples. Cut each fruit in half, remove the middle and tails. Cut each apple into 12-14 slices. It is better to take juicy sour apples with dense pulp (varieties Semerenko, Greni).
   
5. Remove the pickled carcass from the film, remove the citrus halves from the abdomen. Put the chopped apples inside. Sew the abdomen with a thick thread (can be chopped with toothpicks). If there are excess apples, set them aside. They will be used in further cooking.
   
6. Rub the skin of the duck with vegetable oil (20-30 ml), do not forget to grease the legs and wings on all sides. Pour 20-30 ml of vegetable oil on the bottom of the multicooker bowl. Brush the bottom and sides of the bowl.
   
7. Place the duck carcass with its back down in the multicooker. Close the lid of the kitchen appliance.
   
8. Select the program "Multipovar" with a temperature of 130 ° C. Instead of the selected program, you can use the "Baking" mode. Set the time to 30 minutes. Turn on the slow cooker.
   
9. After half an hour, remove the duck from the bowl, drain the resulting meat juice into a deep plate.
   
10. Place the bird in the multicooker bowl with the breast down (with the side fried to the top). Add 40-50 ml of drained juice so that the bird does not burn. On the side, place the remaining apple slices. Set the “Multi-cook” (“Baking”) mode again at 130 ° С, the time is 30 minutes. Click "Start." Transfer the finished duck to a serving dish. Remove the threads from the abdomen. Garnish the dish with fresh vegetables, lemon slices, fresh herbs (not specified in the recipe).
