How do you cook your duck for a quick meal?

Hello gang!

I'm going duck hunting tonight for the first time and will see if I can bag one :o I've never had duck before but I've heard its pretty strong tasting game, what would a good way to cook one for a quick little snack?

Depends on the species, and what there diet is consisting of to determine the "strength".

Try to bag a wood duck, teal, or mallard would be my suggestion.

I normally debone the meat and make stews or stir Fry's.

Cubed wrapped with bacon is a nice snack.

Good luck

Also, I assume your in the northern district??

For a quick meal, i skin the bird take the breasts off, freeze the carcass for stock, then just pan fry the breast with salt and pepper medium rare.

Cut the breasts into strips and lightly tenderize them with meat mallet (or a heavy pot). Don't pound them flat, just "soften" them up a little.

Dust with flour.

Drag though eggs wash

Cover with coating of your choice. Bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, crushed cornflakes, whatever you can think of.

Pan fry with some oil.

Some also like to soak in butter milk, or just milk, before the flour.

Mallard breast, cut a pocket, stuff with cream cheese, wrap with bacon and put them on the BBQ.....excellent !!!

Mallard breast, salt, pepper, a bit of minced garlic and a splash of worcester sauce. Broil to med rare.

This is killing me waiting for opener...lol

For breast meat-- shake up with Crispy Pork Shake and Bake.
Cook at 400F for 15 minutes.
It is tender. You get to taste the duck but it's nicely enhanced by the coating

The key with a duck breast is not to overcook it as it will turn into shoe leather. Rare to medium rare is best, and I find it only needs salt and pepper, whether pan fried or over an open fire.
