Wash the duck and pat dry. Rub the inside and outside with salt and cayenne pepper. Wash thyme, dab dry and chop coarsely. Put half of it into the duck. Close the belly opening with wooden skewers and tie up with kitchen string. Tie wings under the back, legs over the tail. Put 1/8 litre of water into the fat pan of the oven and place the duck on top with the belly side facing down. Roast in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175°C/ gas: level 2) for 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
Clean and wash the carrots. Peel onions. Cut carrots and 2 onions into pieces. After half of the frying time, arrange around the duck. Turn the duck. Heat 1/4 litre chicken stock and pour it over the duck. Finish frying and add the stock from time to time. Sprinkle with remaining thyme 10-15 minutes before the end of the cooking time. Clean, wash and cut the savoy cabbage into strips. Drain the chanterelles. Dice remaining onion. Heat the fat in a saucepan. Fry the chanterelles and onions in it. Add the savoy cabbage, braise briefly and deglaze with stock. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes. Season with salt and nutmeg.

Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper. Arrange duck on savoy cabbage and garnish with fresh thyme as desired. Serve with extra sauce. Roast potatoes taste good with it
