Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ducks:

   • Mix the stuffing ingredients in the cavity of the two ducks.
   • Trim the excess fat and bind the legs at the tail end.
   • Season with salt and pepper and roast in a preheated 325°F oven for 2 hours. Ensure to pour off any grease.
   • When ducks are golden brown, remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.
   • Halve the ducks along the backbone and carefully debone. Discard the stuffing.

2. Prepare the Duck Stock:

   • Put the bones from the ducks in 4 cups of water with an onion, some carrot, salt, and pepper.
   • Simmer for about 2 hours to extract rich flavors. Reserve the duck stock for later use.

3. Prepare the Black Bean Sauce:

   • Blanch the black beans in water until soft, then coarsely chop them.
   • Skin and puree the apples.
   • Sweat the shallots in the port wine until they are translucent.
   • Combine the black beans, pureed apple, and shallots in a saucepan.
   • Add in the cumin, chile, fresh lemon juice, fresh coriander, and Worcestershire sauce.
   • Simmer for about 15 minutes until the flavors blend together perfectly.
   • Swirl in the butter to add richness and depth. Set aside and keep warm.

4. Prepare the Tamarind Jus:

   • Soak the tamarind pulp in water until soft, then squeeze out the seeds and strain the pulp to get a smooth puree.
   • Combine the tamarind puree with the reserved duck stock and heat through.
   • Swirl in the butter for a luxurious finish.

5. Assemble and Serve:

   • Preheat your oven to 500°F.
   • Place the duck halves, skin side down, in a roasting pan and roast for about 10 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
   • Pour some of the prepared black bean sauce onto four plates.
   • Top with the roasted duck halves, skin side up.
   • Drizzle with the tantalizing tamarind jus.
   • Serve alongside oriental vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
