Planning on cooking for 10 guys this weekend from last weekends harvest of ducks. But I'm looking to do something different, even if its just adding a couple different seasonings to a good gravy. Recipes appreciated.
And yes, "I Food and Drink Board, bro." Looking for outdoorsmen not chefs.

My favorite is still to wrap whole breasts in bacon, marinate overnight and grill medium rare (basically when the bacon gets done).
Marinade:
Lime Juice
Ancho Chilis (small can in the mex section at the grocery store)
Low Sodium Soy Sauce
Chopped Red Onions
Cilantro
Chili Powder
Cumin
Salt
Black Pepper
Cayenne
Serve with black beans cooked with rotel. Or make a bunch of guacamole and serve the ducks with chips and guac.
Another thing to do would be to wrap in bacon and cook med rare (as above) but season with Moroccan spice mix. After cooking the duck, set aside under foil to rest. Grill pineapple slices and red onions and serve with sliced duck on white flour tortillas.

What do you have to work with, plucked birds, breasts only?
Posted on 11/19/15 at 12:18 pm to Kevin Faulkner
If breasts only, I like to marinate in sliced chili peppers, red wine vinegar, honey and cayenne and grill on a very hot charcoal grill to medium/medium rare. Teal breasts are amazing with this as an appetizer.

Look in the Recipe Book (F&DB) for Duck n Greens and Duck Ville Platte. You're welcome. Chefs (though I'm not one) and outdoorsmen are not mutually exclusive groups.

If you have whole ducks just do "smothered duck" far and away my favorite way to cook ducks. if you can't find a recipe for smothered duck just copy a smothered rabbit recipe.

by far my favorite
shoot them up with the injector and fry until still slightly bloody
gadwall, teal, pintail seem to do best this way

I've never done that, but I've always wanted to... Especially with some Woodies...
I usually just do gumbo...

We usually fry a few for thanksgiving with our turkey, if I remember correctly I think they would take somewhere around 8 minutes a piece but I may be wrong
Posted on 11/19/15 at 1:55 pm to Kevin Faulkner
I'll split them down the back, flatten them out and grill them. No injections, marinades or any of that complicated shite. Tony's or black pepper and let it rip. Divers and sawbills I throw in the ditch on the way home.

Lots of good suggestions on here. One of my go tos if I want something a little different is a stir fry. Pan full of veggies (onion, bell pepper, carrots, broccoli) breast meat, and eggs. Add soy sauce and/or teriyaki sauce. Serve with rice.

Leave skin on? If I'm fortunate enough to kill a few before thanksgiving (still think they've opened season too early), I'd like to try that for turkey day.

Two ways:
Breasted, no skin, gather:
Duck Breasts
Bacon
Jalapenos
Cream Cheese
Cilantro
White Onion
Dice white onion and cilantro and blend thoroughly into your cream cheese. Now put that in the freezer to partially freeze the mixture. While that is going on you can precook your bacon, I normally do 90 seconds in the microwave. If you want to brine the breasts, so be it. Consolidate the ingriedients into a popper, cook until bacon is done and I promise there won't be any left and people will tell you they are best they've had. It's the cilantro and onion. I've had duck poppers a ton of ways and IMO none have come close to this recipe, I just learned it about 2 months ago.
Duck Breast with skin on:
Salt/pepper the skin side only. Sear skin side down in skillet with oil, after they cook 3/4 up the side, flip and cook for 90 seconds. Take off heat and serve with orange sauce or by themselves. I've had friends shocked at this one because few consider plucking breast feathers only and carving out with skin attached. It requires very little doctoring for a very solid end result.

I usually just have breasts. My kids love then chicken fried. Cut into strips, soak in milk, season some flour, fry to a golden brown.
