Hello again all, well since my last post I have been trying to learn how to hunt for waterfowl, last weekend Rex took me out for my first Duck Hunt and I had a great time. I think I may have found a new favorite pass time for late Autumn and early winter, heck I even went out a bought a brand new shot gun so I don't have to keep borrowing a gun. So after my first hunt I wanted to try a Pan Seared Duck Breast recipe, after I seared them they looked a little lonely on the plate, to fix that I added a small green salad topped off with some Feta Cheese. The recipe is really quick and easy to get the Duck Breast done, you will need:1 stick of butter
2 cloves of garlic finely minced
1 sprig of Rosemary
A pinch of salt
I started the butter melting in a regular frying pan then added the garlic to the butter and let saute for just a moment, be careful when sauteing garlic if it burns it gets really bitter and is just not edible. After the butter is completely melted, sprinkle a little salt on the breast and add to the pan. Then add the Rosemary.
You can cook the duck two ways either all the way through or to medium rare, I prefer the medium rare way, I tried both and the well done piece was not only not as nice looking as the medium rare, but was a bit dry and chewy. That reminds me of a joke: A waiter asks a Stormtrooper how his Wookie Steak is and he replies, Chewie. Anyway I will keep posting new duck recipes as I get more chances to make them, Rex says he will show me how to make jerky out of Duck, and I also think we may be going Goose hunting as well.
