silk Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Does anyone have a fabulous but easy recipe for duck? My sons want duck for Christmas Eve. I've never cooked it before, so tips are welcome in addition to recipes. My husband and I will be off the Whole30 by then, but all that means in our household is that we might use butter if I've been slow on making ghee... Thanks!

EmilyB456 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Ooh, we love duck! The first time I cooked it, I used Alton Brown's recipe as a template: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/mighty-duck-recipe/index.html I think I used orange juice with nothing added instead of pineapple/orange, and used a cast iron skillet. It turned out great AND I rendered a bunch of yummy duck fat to use in other recipes! It isn't that much different from cooking a chicken...just don't be afraid of color, and get that skin gloriously crispy! Think I used kale instead of chard, but seriously, any green cooked in duck fat and shallots and finished with vinegar is going to be insane. Jealous just thinking about your meal! My kids want summer sausage for Christmas Eve. Sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silk Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Thanks for the recipe, your tips and your enthusiasm! As regards the jealousy, remember the grass is always greener where you don't have to mow the lawn! Happy holidays from my family to yours.
