Meal ideas for Duck?I

kitschkitty

I have 2 duck breasts and also 2 duck legs in the freezer, and no good ideas what to cook with them (or the best method for cooking them).

I don't often cook duck and if I do it tends to be a whole one roasted. If we have duck from a restaurant then it will invariably be Chinese (various dishes), but I'd like to cook something else at home.

I'm not really a fan of most meat dishes with fruit or anything sweet and sour, and confit has too many calories! but all other ideas would be gratefully received! :beer:

my local indian takeaway does a tandoori duck dish its lightly spiced (i'd marinade it over night in a tandoori spice blend of some kind) then cooked on a tandoor (i guess a griddle pan would be ok) and its then finished with a light coriander and onion salad tis lush!

Cassoulet? (Basically bean stew with an assortment of meats.) Very good dish for using up greasy things like duck legs or pork belly.
