Roasted duck (Pečená kachna)

In the Czech Republic, roasted duck is known as pečená kachna. The duck is usually seasoned with caraway seeds and marjoram, then slowly roasted in the oven until golden brown and crispy. It is traditionally served alongside potatoes, bread dumplings, braised red cabbage, and occasionally a thick sauce made with reserved duck fat and flour.

This nutritious Czech classic is often found on the menus of traditional restaurants, and the homemade versions are usually prepared as a weekend meal or as a main dish served on special occasions.
