Christmas dinner success. This was our first try roasting a duck and root vegetables in a Römertopf – an unglazed terra cotta cooking pot. Quite tasty. The combination of parsnip, rutabaga, carrot and baby potatoes was a perfect base on which to roast the duck, which we first brined and then seasoned with herbs. As the duck released fat, the vegetables marinated and became super tender and flavorful.
