Quacker Recipe's?

[GatorBait]

I'm in the hunt for some breasted duck recipe's. Did a search in here but didn't find anything. Looking for anything that isn't a daily chore. I've heard of wrapping them in bacon and grilling them, but figure there would be more to it then that, maybe not. Toss me some ideas, love to try out some favorites.

Well, this weekend was my first ever duck hunting. I have a Ring-necked Duck filleted breast roasting in the oven in a covered baking dish with garlic soup mix, carrots, and a cup of water right now. I'm cooking wild rice separately as a side. That's about as easy as it gets, right?

I'll let you know if it's any good!

It's a winner. 40 minutes at 400F...though I could have let it go longer, might have been a little more tender. If I had it to do again, I would have put in a few less carrots and included a few baby red potatoes.

Here's what I have done. People that don't like duck even like these.

Breast out the duck(s) and cut the breast into strips. Soak the strips overnight in apple juice in the fridge. Then, slice up some jalapenos. Double up a strip of breast meat with a similarily sized piece of bacon and wrap it around a slice of jalapeno. Skewer with a toothpick or bamboo skewer and grill till the bacon is done. Very tasty!!!

I skin the ducks and brown them in dutch oven pot, put in potatoes, carrots, onions, and 2 cans mushrooms. Simmer four hours or more and meat falls off the bone. Simple and good tasting. This also works for rabbit, squirrel, or any type of wild game.

Sounds good Ralph! I'll have to try that.

MixxedBagg...I'l slow the oven down to 300 and try a longer cook to get the tenderness. Ducks are tough, slow cook is the way.

[GatorBait]

All sound good. I particularly like Ralph's, apple juice soaked duck with a kick. yum!

[mixxedbagg]

Good call....this is my first season duck hunting and I've only cooked a couple of gift ducks prior to this year. More time in the oven would have helped.

We like to take the brest meat, and cut it into cubes. Put it in a ziplock bag with Itialian salad dressing for several hours. Then wrap with bacon and skewer.

Grill (I prefer charcoal, less flare ups) until the bacon is just starting to crisp. The duck should be medium to medium rare.

MMMM

Did a couple mallards last night exactly as above except I used bbq sauce instead of Italian dressing. Delicious.

DUCK POPPERS

They are a little bit of work, but well worth it.

I marinate the breasts in Pomegranite(sp?) Chipotle sauce.

Butterfly the breasts

Slit and remove seeds of thumb size jalapenos

Stuff jalapeno w/cream cheese

Put jalapeno in breast and wrap shut w/bacon

Tooth pick to hold shut and hold bacon on

Grill till bacon is crispy, of course better w/charcoal

The hands down best duck recipe I have had/made. My wife actually likes it as well. My 8 yr old raves about it. Also do it with pheasant breasts.

Give it a shot.

I did that with a goldeneye today. Except this time I had potatoes instead of carrots. Turned out fantastic and tender....with almost zero prep time.

I used this recipe for a couple ring-necks and it turned out great! Nice recipe. I added a cube of pepperjack to each and that also went over well. I'm curious how it would handle the deep fryer?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Good call on the pepperjack!
