Alsace-Lorraine: Duck Baeckeoffe

A generous traditional Alsatian dish, Baeckeoffe is a complete meal that combines three meats (beef, lamb, and pork) delicately simmered in a good Alsatian wine as it should be, and all garnished with potatoes and vegetables (carrots, leeks) that are melt-in-your-mouth tender. Here is an exquisite variation with duck, a simple and effective recipe for a moment of sharing in all simplicity.
