I have a bunch of duck breats in the freezer and want to do something with them. I normally make duck jalapeño poppers wrapped in bacon but I want to try something new. I've tried making jerky in the oven but ended up burning the meat even with the oven on the lowest temp. I'm thinking of using a crock pot to slow cook the meat with other things. What should I cook my duck with in the slow cooker?
What kind of duck are we talking? Taste varies greatly depending on the species of duck. I wouldn't cook a Mallard the same as I would a diver duck.
Mallard, Teal and Wigeon, maybe Canvasback I'm good with just searing med rare after scoring the skin. Then make a fruit based sauce with smoked salt. Always pleases.
Other ducks highly spiced dishes work well. Gumbo, Curries, Tiki Masala. And if I'm worried about texture just braise it in some stock, onion, garlic, bay leaf and peppercorns for 1-2 hours until its the texture you want.
