Favorite Duck Recipes???

[heartattack22]

How does everyone cook their duck? Loking for new ways to try to cook it. I wouldn't mind trying a stew either. Let me know. Thanks

i bought the cajun injector with the creole garlic marinade. I just filleted the breast, no skin and injected them. I basted them as they cooked and also sprinkled on mcormicks roasted garlic seasoning. I ate my four ducks and was wanting more. Very pleased.

this might be old hat for everyone else but I had only heard about it last year.

Take your (puddle duck) breasts and marinate in EXTRA virgin olive oil. Over night is good but for at least a few hours.

Then wipe off all oil and cover them with Cavader's Greek seasoning (I find it at Cub foods)

Then wrap the cheapest fattiest bacon around each breast (2 if they are big mallards) and secure with a toothpick

Put on grill with a foil tray on the lower rack to catch dripping grease (burnt grease makes them taste bad)

Cook over medium heat for 45mins to an hour until the bacon is crispy (you made need a little direct heat at the end)

revome the toothpick and eat. It makes good hor's douvers and goes good with beer.

That's my favorite. Good luck.

I cook duck and geese by cubing up the breasts 1" by 1", and throwing them into a crockpot along with cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, garlic, worchestershire sauce,lemon pepper, lemon, and wild rice. Let it cook for 4+ hours or more or until the meat is tender. Very good homeade recipe.

I filet the breast and if the duck is larger I also do the legs. Brown the duck in butter Then simmer with Uncle Bens wild and white rice mix. My brother was a very picky eater so we would take his duck out before the rice went in, it was still very good.

I think the filet is the way to go no matter what you add to it, or have it plain, with nothing added.

Have used this one the last two years, it will convert those who hate duck immediately! Not one person to try it has not loved it! Pound breast with a meat tenderizer mallet as flat as possible (stop before making holes). If you put the breast membrane side down it stays together better. Once you've tenderized, put in a ziplock with BBQ sauce (doesn't seem to matter whether cheap or "the good stuff"), and marinate 6-8 hours. Take out of marinate, lay flat, add 1 slice of pepperjack cheese, one slice of green pepper, and a couple slices of banana peppers (staright out of the jar). Keep your slices fairly thin, the next step is to roll them up, then wrap with a piece of bacon, hold in place with toothpicks. Cook on CHARCOAL grill over low heat, turning until bacon is getting close. Don't overcook! Remove when cheese just starts to melt out the ends. Try this one, and experiment with what's inside. We've used Jalapenos (ouch), and "Dilly" snap-beans (awesome). A group of us hunt together all year, and some used to complain about taking home the ducks they shot ... not anymore with this recipe!

Last night I put together about 5 recipes and it turned out to be the "best duck" my wife has ever tasted. I hunt on opener with my dad, his best friend, and my best friend. My dad's buddy makes sure we pluck all the ducks and not just breast them, and all my favorites are just breasts so I had to ad lib a little. He goes:

Take plucked duck, coat with peanut oil on inside and out. Sprinkle salt, pepper and whatever other spices on both inside and out.(I used A LOT of Petey's Cajun) Put a gizzards and hearts in body cavity, then put a wine soaked piece of bread in the cavity for moisture and a little flavor, you can use Marsala or Merlot or probably any wine. Next, wrap the bird with bacon and add a piece of bacon to plug the cavity. Then wrap whole thing with tin foil and place on the grill. I grilled at 350 for 45 minutes, flipping once at 25 minutes. The breast temp was 190 when I took them off. It was great, by far the most moist duck I have ever eaten. It is really easy to do and very quick, except for the 45 on the grill. Better than any roast duck I have ever had.

Smeds, sounds good, Im going to try it out tomorrow, but with american cheese, bacon, and a thin slice of onion.

Cut breasts into strips, marinade overnight in BBQ sauce, wrapped in 1/3 slice of bacon, stick with toothpick, grill til bacon is somewhat crispy & enjoy.

I like to pluck the duck and roast them in the oven. Don't know why, but lately they have been coming out tough. I've tried low heat, high heat, baked slow, fast, what ever. Any help or ideas?

Here's one I tried last year & loved it.

Cut breast into strips, take regular shore-lunch or similar breading, add a bunch of ginger & garlic & bread the strips. Stir fry in oil. Place duck over a bed of fresh steamed rice & cover with an asian sauce of your choice (I prefer an asian plum sauce)then sprinkle w/ sesame seed.

This is one we did in college all the time in the crock pot.

Take two cans of cream of mushroom soup, 2-3 ducks breasted out, 1 packet liptons onions soup mix, potatoes, carrots, and an onion.

Cut up the duck breasts, carrots, potatoes and onions. Throw them in put the two cans of soup on top, and only one can of water, mix in the soup mix.

Put in the crock pot, turn on low for 6 to 8 hours till potatoes are tender and enjoy. If you want to speed it up use high for the first two and then bump down to low.

When it's all tender, put a little salt and pepper on and enjoy. Super easy and pretty tasty. Have had this for many, many meals.

I just was trying some new things tonight and i came up with my best duck yet. I call it chicken fried duck.

Cut breasts into thin stips.

Combine flour and montreal chicken seasoning.

Cover strips and fry in hot oil.

My roomate who isn't a hunter couldn't get enough of it.

It's quick and easy and tastes great. Give it a try.
