Two Ducks To Be Eaten, All But The Quack
Comments (26)The dinner was served tonight, but it was half-hearted on all side - SWMBO and my son are still sick, dear daughter might be sinking, and I have the start of something. Current symptoms are a wincing headache, achy joints, and a draggy feeling. Crap, I have to go on a trip Tuesday. Back to the food - the duck breast turned out tasty, I couldn't get the gastrique-or-whatever-we're-calling-it to look pretty so I left it off for the pics (I didn't process it smooth enough for a squeeze bottle, lesson learned). The veg is pretty charred after re-heating but tasted fine. I'm taking a Tylenol PM and going to bed. Thank you all for helping me with this "meal". Oh, P.S. I've decided it could be fun for those of us who cook with music to mention what we were listening to when we made whatever we're talking about. Tonight: Lana Del Rey, Isaac Hayes.

Comments (67)Alexa, my favorite duck so far came out of the smoker, Roger and Sherry came for dinner and they've sampled that, Roger really liked it. Deep fried might be really good! As for "unmentionables", I've confessed to eating everything from testicles to head cheese. (shrug) Some I liked, some I didn't. I tried to get cabrito when we went to Mexico, but couldn't find any. I ate sushi in California, although I liked the deep fried version best, LOL. (Thanks, Diana!) The only time I got a lot of criticism here was once when I posted pictures of the new calves and had the "annual naming of the beef". I did get a couple of hateful emails from a woman who couldn't stand me "talking ugly about food" and a couple of others about being the next thing to a murderer for raising beef and then having it killed. (shrug) I'm a big girl, I can deal with it. I got a lot more nastiness on the tomato forum and from one male poster on Harvest who was always right and got not just nasty, but threatening. It happens. (shrug) I get past it. Annie...See MoreLeftover duck!
Comments (4)Alexa, here is a recipe I saved from Maple Leaf Farms, they market ducks, as is apparent from the recipe. Anyway, I haven't tried it and I think I'd leave out the cranberries, but it's on my "to try" list, since I have all those ducks in the freezer. Sweet Potato and Duck Chowder Serving Size: 6 Ingredients: 1 lb. Skinless, Boneless Duck Breast Meat**, cut into 1 to 1-1/2 inch pieces 4 tablespoons olive oil 3 links cooked duck sausage, diced* 1/2 cup minced shallots 2 tablespoon minced garlic 1 stalk celery, diced 2 cups peeled 1/2-inch diced sweet potatoes 2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced 2 cups chicken stock (or duck stock, if you have it) 1/2 cup dried cranberries 1 cup heavy cream 2 cups whole milk 2 tablespoons flour 3 tablespoons chopped chives Salt and black pepper Directions: 1. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a skillet or sauté pan. Add duck meat and sauté for 2 minutes, then flip over and sauté other side for another 2-3 minutes. Duck should still be slightly pink inside. Set aside. 2. Heat remaining oil in a soup pot. Add the duck sausage and cook about 1 minute. Add the shallots and continue sautéing for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, celery, sweet potatoes, apples and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are barely tender. 3. Add the cranberries, cream, milk, and flour to the soup and stir until it reaches a smooth consistency. Cook until the soup begins to thicken. Add the cooked duck meat and chives. Season to taste. I do like this recipe from Ming Tsai: Duck, Mango and Caramelized Onion Wrap Copyright, 1999, Ming Tsai, All Rights Reserved Â1 tablespoon Dijon Â1/2 tablespoon sambal Â2 limes, juiced Â2 cups shredded duck meat Â1 large red onion, sliced and caramelized Â1 mango, peeled and sliced Â2 cups shredded iceberg lettuce Â1 sliced tomato Â2 large whole wheat burrito or lavash ÂSalt and black pepper, to taste Directions PLATING: In a large bowl, whisk together Dijon, sambal and limes. Mix with duck, onions and mango. Check for seasoning. Roll in lavash with lettuce and tomato. Slice on the bias. I really need to roast some of those ducks, but I have leftover turkey and some turkey barley soup, and last night's fajita remains, and today's leftover chicken in caramel sauce with rice. I've got to eat those leftovers before I cook anything else! Annie...See MoreDuck was a Dud
Comments (20)I did a whole big procedure that was supposed to render fat out of it ahead of time. I've done the piercing and also the high heat low heat thing. This year I steamed it for 45 min. before roasting it. It just wasn't good. Maybe ducks just vary a lot, because I also have had good ones. Just not the last couple of years. Maybe Annie can chime in here, maybe it is something about how they are raised. Anyway, it was just expensive and the chicken we roasted last year was a whole lot better! I made duck soup though. Haven't eaten it yet. Just surprising how little meat on the whole duck. Two people, one meal and barely enough meat for half a pot of soup, 17 bucks! Tons of fat though!...See MoreIslay Corbel
