Cooked up some duck last night
« on: October 27, 2011, 08:35:35 AM »
Took those 3 birds ( mallard, spoonie and the teal) from the day before and soaked over night in some salt water to get the blood out. Cut those 6 breast up into bite sized pieces. Then I cut up about a1/4 each of onion and green bell pepper. I put all of this into a cast iron skillet and then broke off a chunk of dried chili pepper and added it. Brought all of this to a boil (no liquid need it made it's own) then I cut the heat back to around medium and let the liquid cook down

Once the liquid was cooked down but not completely dry I added a good sized fork full of butter/margerine then I took a box of Rice-A-Roni long grain and wild rice and added the rice letting this cook (my way of sauteing the rice) for a minute or 2 Then I add the water and the seasoning packet. Brought it back to a good boil then cut the heat way down covered and let simmer till the rice was tender (about 20 minutes or so) and the liquid had cooked off.

Next I took a can of whole corn drained the liquid into a sauce pan added anthoer fork full of butter and let come to a boil. Cut the heat back add corn and heat for a minute or so untill the corn is good and hot ( corn doesn't seem to get as mushy this way to me )

Next you need a good sized plate , spoon or spatula and heap it up sprinkle some bacon bits on it all then have at it.

Got to say I couldn't tell the difference between the mallard hen the spoonie hen or the teal....................there was then a party in my mouth

Man it all looks good BUT YUCK  :chuckle: I remember a buddy telling me once how good duck was and my reaction has not changed... He invites me over for some REMINGTON MALLARD  :chuckle: :dunno: sO HE CALLED IT ! It looked so good but when I took a bite I left the room and spit the sheet out  :yeah: Now duck jerky is the way to go but I soak it in vinegar over night and then I drain it and soak it again once more over night ...then into a brine and then smoke it ....Vinegar kills all that yucky taste  :chuckle: :twocents:

   I think mostly it's how it's perpared that makes the biggest difference  in taste :IBCOOL:

White I used the long grain and wild rice flavor but have found you can change it up with just about any flavor you can also use hamburger helper.

This is showing my feminine side, but  Yesterday on Anthony Bourdains "no reservations" he was cooking duck. It looked awsome. Skin side down in a fry pan on low it looked like several minutes (rendered the fat in to the meat), then turn. I guess the key is "very medium rare" sliced thin on the bias.

Why is it that everyone is trying to justify the taste of duck?  I am not a waterfowl hunter, but If you can't/don't eat it why hunt it?????

PS: I have friends that are the most avid waterfowl hunters, but cannot stand to eat the stuff. I just don't get that :dunno:
