Quack?

FearlessGrill

Hi all,

I found a fresh duckling at the store yesterday, and I'm trying to figure out how I want to cook it for dinner tonight. I've done duck several times with several different recipes, but looking for something new. Any ideas?

Thx,

i did alton brown's cook on the egg.

recipe:

and the important part of the cook on youtube

doing it over, i'd steam the thighs for 20 minutes, then throw in the breasts for 25 (thighs for a total of 45 minutes).

i also de-boned a bit more to get the duck to press flat.

i used a brick to press it flatter


here's the skin at the point of utter perfection (if i do say so myself)


and plated with cubed sweet potatoes (roasted in ducj fat), wild rice (with added wild shrooms), and spinach in the place of alton's swiss chard (see recipe)
