Roasted Duck Wraps with Maple and Lemongrass

1 Hour 10 Minutes | easy | Serves 4

These duck wraps are made using a whole duck roasted in five spice and cooked on the Jupiter Outback BBQ. Towards the end of cooking time, some apricots are also roasted with aromatic lemongrass and maple syrup, for a juicy, sweet and sour accompaniment. All this needs is some shredded spring onions to complete the wrap.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole duck (around 1.5kg)
  • 2 tablespoons five spice
  • A little neutral oil, for rubbing the duck
  • 320g apricots, halved (it’s OK to leave the stones in as this helps keep their shape)
  • 6 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Juice of 2 oranges
  • 2 stalks lemongrass, bashed
  • 4 tortillas or flatbreads
  • 3 spring onions, sliced lengthways into short lengths

Directions

1.

Place the spring onions into a bowl of iced water to crisp up.

3.

Light two gas burners

Light two gas burners on the Jupiter Outback BBQ and set the heat to medium high – you are looking for a temperature of around 200C. Place the duck on the opposite side of the grill to the burners and close the lid. Cook for 1 hour, or until the Jupiter Outback probe thermometer reads at least 72C.

6.

Rest the duck for 20 minutes

Rest the duck for 20 minutes before carving and serving with the roasted apricots, flatbreads, spring onions and the juices from the duck and the apricot pan drizzled over.

You could also serve a roasted duck like this one with pancakes, spring onions and hoisin sauce, for a BBQ spin on a Cantonese favourite.
