Favorite duck recipes?

[hereford]

I started an earlier thread about Coot, but time to get serious. I loaded up on Widgeons, Gadwalls and Mallards the past couple of days and wanted to hear you guys' favorite recipes. Fried, Stew, etc.

Gracias.

make jerky out of it and give it to the dogs as treats.

I just breast them out and grill the breast halves to a nice medium. Grilled over mesquite or charcoal is better imo

I make fajitas out of mine, the key with ducks is cooking them medium rare.

Marinate breast over night in tarryaki seasoning. Then switch to italian dressing for 4 hrs. Wrap in bacon and grill on low to medium pecan coals flipping breast every couple of mins. Do not over cook bc breast will dry out. Some of the best eating!!!

X2 if you overcook em they are worthless. The ol jalapeño with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon on the pit is good as well.
Edit: after soaking the meat in soy sauce, teriyaki, or Italian dressing.

Breast them out, lightly pound with a hammer to tenderize. Then cut into 1 " strips, soak in ice water changing several times until water is not bloody. Marinade for 15-30 in Allegro marinade. Take half of a cored jalapeño fill with cream cheese add duck strip and wrap with bacon. Lightly season with Tony's and grill til bacon is done and duck is rare to light medium rare.

I've eaten a lot of duck and this is BY FAR THE BEST. Second is having Kuby's in Dallas make sausage with it-

This sounds really good! I would alter it a little...breast it out and lightly pound the put 2 slices of jalapeno and a slice of jack cheese and then wrap in bacon. Marinade in italian dressing for 24 hours or just freeze them in italian. Cook over mesquite or hickory...fire has to be very hot as you want to "fire" the morsel until the bacon crisps a little. The duck should be medium and the jack will melt inside. Time to drink plenty of beer and eat these little morsels. Cheers!

I use 2 cloves of garlic, 1 medium onion, 2 tbs of Worstershire Sauce, salt and pepper then gently place duck in medium cooking bag and bury at least 3 feet under the earth. :-)

Breast the duck and marinate in orange juice for a couple of hours. Prior to placing on the grill, zest an orange peel on the meat.

Fajitas

[Sethfish]

Use a brine of sea salt and brown sugar and let duck breasts soak anywhere from a few hours to overnight. Then you can cook it any way you want. Personally I like wrapped in bacon on the pit.

I love some chicken fried duck. Soak it in Italian dressing over night then next day chicken fry the breast. It's really good. Just don't cool them too long. Also I make a lot of duck jerky, everyone that has tried it has loved it.
