Duck and Apricot Salad Preparation

Heat oven to 325 F. Rinse duck and pat dry. Rub inside and out with salt and pepper. Roast breast side down on rack in a roasting pan for 1 hour. Turn duck breast side up; roast until meat is tender and thigh juices run clear when pierced with a fork, about 2 hours. Let stand at room temperature until cool enough to handle. Remove meat from carcass in large pieces; discard bones and skin. Refridgerate meat, covered, for 3 hours. Meanwhile, saute ginger, garlic and red pepper in small skillet for 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in vinegar, honey, soy sauce, cinnamon and allspice. Pierce apricots at 1/2 inch intervals with a fork. Cut lengthwise into quarters. Combine the apricots and dressing in a small bowl; toss. Refridgerate 2 hours. Cut duck into 2 x 1/4 x 1/4 inch julienne strips. Line salad bowl with lettuce (or spinach) and watercress. Top with mushrooms and onion (separated into rings). Remove apricots from dressing with a slotted spoon. Arrange apricots and duck over vegetables. Drizzle with dressing and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Toss before serving. Makes 4 servings.
