duck/goose appetizers

[TV BOY]

I need to bring some appetizers to a party this weekend. I have some breasted out duck and canadians. Any ideas for great make ahead appetizers? Won't have access to a grill at the party.

Marinate or brine them and then smoke them. Slice about 1/4" thick across the breast and arrange pin wheel fashion on a serving platter. Mix up a small bowl of 1/3rd dijon mustard, 1/3 mayo (or miracle whip) and 1/3 honey. mix well and place the bowl in the center of your meat pin wheel, a box of fancy tooth picks in front of the meat and you are golden! Simple easy and no cooking... guaranteed to be gone faster than Aunty Emms deviled eggs!!!

Good Luck!

Had some this week at pheasant camp that were marinated in soy sauce and garlic powder for 24 hours and then sautted with onions. They were very good, although it did cut the duck taste too much for me. The guys that don't typically like duck were very impressed.

I usually butterfly them, stuff them with cream cheese and jalapenos, close them and wrap them in bacon. Stick a water soaked toothpick through them and throw them on the grill, on low, just until the cream cheese starts to ooze out. This is my favorite way to do duck and I will be doing them next week at elk camp. Good luck!

***Sorry didn't finish reading your post, I have also thrown them in a pan on the stove top on low.***

I like taking the breast and slicing it in 1/2 on smaller ducks, maybe 1/4's on mallards. Fry it up on medium heat, little oil in the pan and season with lowreys and some pepper. This also makes a great sandwich!

Sorry I didn't see this until today but here is one of my favorite duck recipes. It is very easy and gets rid of the waterfowl taste...actually tastes more like steak!

1/2 cup olive oil

1 tbsp liquid smoke

1 tbsp A1 steak sauce

1 tsp garlic powder

pepper and seasoning to taste

Slice duck breasts into strips. Marinate in above mixture for 4 hrs and grill on high heat for just a couple mins per side. Don't grill more than medium and they will have much more flavor and be more tender.

butterfly duck breasts and roll them in seasoned flour fry in a pan of veg oil, turns out just like fried chicken, if you want appetizers just cube up the breasts and cook the same way, think popcorn chicken only duck
