I admit. I've never eaten duck before or at least I don't think I have. We certainly never had duck at our table growing up and you certainly can't find it it at the local grocery store. The only thing I've ever heard about duck is that it is very fatty.
Well, that part is definitely right. In our duck class, we learned about prepping duck and how to cook it. We started our confit of duck legs a few weeks ago and we finished the legs by searing them. After we seared them they were falling off the bone and I think everyone liked them the best. We also made duck a la orange, duck with flour pancakes and an asian sauce along with our duck fat roasted smashed potatoes seasoned with garlic rosemary, pureed parsnips with apple and pear and an asian inspired salad.
Here's our confit duck legs after staying in the refrigerator for 4 weeks. The legs were roasted about 6 hours so they're already cooked. We seared them on each side, mostly just to heat them back up.
They were really tender and falling off the bone.
We also seared two duck breasts for the duck a la orange. You can see how dark the meat it is.
The duck meat is definitely very rich even the breast meat unlike a chicken. There didn't seem to be much difference in the meat between the breast and legs.
Needless to say, our duck lunch turned out very good and very rich.
