Wild Ducks, Roasted (Polish fashion). —Take two wild ducks, singe them, wash them inwardly, truss, put them in a kitchen basin, pour over a little cooked marinade, and let them macerate for five or six hours. At the end of that time lay them in a roasting-pan with the marinade ; cover them with buttered paper, and cook them, basting often. When half done, add to their cooking-stock two gills of good thick sour cream

Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
