Ideas for ducks

[73saint]

Been a heck of a season in the Louisiana delta this year. I have a freezer slam full of venison, and the last couple weeks of the season we changed gears and went after some waterfowl. I got lucky and loaded up. I have my traditional roasted duck recipe which I love, but looking for some other ideas. I’d love to make a duck sausage or a prosciutto but I don’t want to waste this precious meat. Duck is one of my all time faves.





Any tried and true duck recipes y’all are willing to share? Thanks in advance...

Duck kabobs with cream cheese, jalapeno and onion; wrapped in bacon grilled and glazed with steens
fried duck strips with steens and creole mustard dipping sauce

I got plenty more....

I'm glad someone is killing them here in Louisiana. Been a bad year all way around from the people I know....

And I hope you plucked those teal...

Orange marmalade glazed and grilled teal are to die for!

Keith, that's what I keep hearing. We got lucky and had them late. Last two weeks of the season were nuts. If we'd have shot halfway decent it would have been lights out!

Pecan crusted duck patties are always a winner too...

My man.....a true coonass. My great Uncles taught me how to clean a duck-nothing wasted, every bird was plucked. Though I now part them out for the most part. pineapple teriyaki glazed and grilled duck leg quarters are a true delight inda duck blind my friend....

Get the pit up to 300*F. when you put them on, it should only take 45 minutes for teal, 1 hour for widgeons and woodys, 1:15 for big ducks like mallard and canvasback. Don't over cook them. Pull @135~140*INT for med. rare - med. duck....

They should look like this when you are done:

Making duck proscuitto is wasting duck?! Rob, man you are spoiled! I am on Lake Erie and is a big duck area. Nearly all the nicer restaurants here serve duck confit but maybe its a northern thing tho.

I didn't mean to insinuate that. I actually want to make duck proscuitto. I just meant that I want to do right by them, certainly don't think prosciutto is a waste.
