Need Quick Duck Recipe for this evening.

23 January 2008, 22:32

A couple buddies and I went duck hunting this AM and killed 12 gadwalls. They have been breasted out (meat is still on the chest bone), no skin. I want to bake them in the oven for a few hours, then make some gravy for the rice I'll be cooking in a separate pot.

So, what seasonings should I use, at what temperature, and for how long. I appreciate your responses.
Thanks

I know it is afew months late, but you can allways make fajitas out of your duck breast. That is what we do most of the time.

There is only one way to cook Gadwalls.

Finish taking the meat off the breast bone.

Cut the breast meat into Chicken McNugget size chunks.

Soak the nuggets overnite in a mixture of 50% Italian dressing and 50% soy sauce.

Wrap each duck nugget with a slice of bacon and pin it with half a wooden toothpick.

Cook them on a grille outside until the bacon is done - that tells you the duck is just right.

This will make you throw your steaks out to the dog and go kill some more Gadwalls out of season.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

I tried this with other ducks. Don't remember what species one of these-Pintail, Redhead, or Widgeon. Fabulous! People that normally don't like duck begged for the recipe. The only thing I changed was the addition of 1Tbls of 3V liquid tenderizer. It is a flavorless papaya extract that works miracles.

When I butcher a duck, I bone out the breast, and save the legs and thighs and the heart, liver and gizzards.

Then I flour it and fry it in olive oil.

Just make sure and do not cook it too done.

Bacon wrapped duck is good too, as is bacon wrapped chicken livers...
