Roast duck with baby onions, olives and marsala

400 g (14 oz) baby onions, peeled
1 duck, about 1.4kg
(3 lb 2 oz), cleaned & insides removed
30 g (1 oz) Butter
250 ml (1 Cup) of Marsala
800 g (1 Ib 12oz) Potatoes, peeled & cut into chunks
2 bay leaves
250 g (9 oz) black (oven- or sun-dried) olives
2 sprigs sage
2 sprigs rosemary
2 garlic cloves, peeled

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas 6). Bring a small saucepan of slightly salted water to the boil, add the onions and boil for a few minutes. Drain, keeping the onions aside.

Prick the skin of the duck n a few places with a fork. Put the duck into a large roasting dish. Rub the skin with the butter and season with salt and pepper. Put into the hot oven, breast side down, and roast for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Remove from the oven, turn the duck over and pour over the Marsala. Add the onions, potatoes, bay leaves, olives, sage, rosemary and garlic. Mix them through with a wooden spoon. Add 125 ml (1/2 cup) of water.

Return the dish to the oven for another 11/4 hours or so, turning the duck over again halfway through cooking, and shuffle the potatoes with a wooden spoon.

There should only be a little liquid left with a crispy duck, which should be well cooked throughout. Remove from the oven and check the potatoes to see it they need salt.

Cut up the duck with poultry shears, carve some of the meat and serve hot, together with the potatoes, onions and pan juices.
