Whats the best method for cooking a wild duck?
I love duck or pheasant stuffed with a wild rice dressing. Stuffed Duck I have filled wild birds with rice stuffing many times, and roasted in cooking bags. I would not boil the bird first, bur the stuffing should be cooked. I use a good stock, often made from neck, tip of wings and some meat. I cook a mixture of brown long grain rice and wild rice in the stock, add canned sliced mushrooms – and juices from the tin – chopped celery chopped liver, chopped sauteed onions and a pinch of thyme. Cook until finished, but still moist. I fill the bird with this, season with salt and pepper and some herb – thyme, rosmary or sage, put it in a cooking bag and roast it in the oven until preferred doneness.. I like fairly low heat and long slow roasting. I may remove bird from bag and roast a few minutes high in oven with high heat to make it crisp. The rest of the stuffing make a good side dish. ————————————–… WILD DUCK/GOOSE IN GRAVY 2 Ducks or 1 Goose Lard or shortening
