Bird Hunting
Need a duck recipe
Uploaded on September 22, 2012I'm looking for a recipe to cook for my wife who is about to embark on her first duck hunt. Her desire is to eat her first waterfowl kill, while my focus is for her to enjoy eating it. My thoughts are geared toward finding a relatively easy to prepare dish that promises as little grease and as little gameness as possible. I will be cooking at camp in the North Maine woods, so I have to bring all the ingredients in with me, as there isn't the option of running to the local supermarket. If anyone would be willing to share their cooking knowledge with me it would be very greatly appreciated. FYI, her best chance at shooting a duck will be on either woodies, green wing teal or a green head. In the event that the recipe is species specific. I'm thinking that my first chance my be my only, as she won't be willing to kill an animal she won't eat. So please help me tempt her taste buds so that I can keep her in the woods and on the water!

Absolute best wood duck recipe: Fillet off the breast steaks. Sear them quickly (both sides) in butter in a HOT fry pan....remove to a cutting board and slice on the bias (1/4") like you would slice London broil...Now quickly sear the slices on each side in that same HOT butter (looking for med. rare...no more done than that)...serve on rye toast points with a little salt and pepper, maybe garlic salt. Voila...a gourmet treat that is delicious!!!
Barnhllo, thank you. That sounds awesome, simple, and like our next duck dish. She ended up with a hen mallard on an off handed follow up shot, sitting down in the front of the canoe. I couldn't be more proud! The duck ended up roasted in the oven stuffed with half an apple and half an onion, covered in bacon. She ate it with a smile, and only asked about a quil feather once! Thank you again, and happy hunting.
Barnhllo's recipe is close to mine. Only I use the gas grill when I can, Rare, sliced like tenderloin and for first timers a blueberry compote on top. If you breast them it reduces the prospect of quills...However, missed shot can turn off a first timer even more.
Cook duck like beef- medium rare. The most common mistake is to overcook duck. There are tons of recipes out there, just make sure you choose one that does not promote overcooking. It may help to slice the duck into thinner pieces that promote hot and fast cooking and a more medium rare doneness throughout.
Two mallards stuffed with orange slices then wrapped in bacon and stuffed into a crock pot. Cook until the meat is nearly falling off the bones. Great!
