Three days of the duck.

[cdcox]

I bought two ducks for Christmas dinner (my wife, me, and daughter).

Actually I only made the breasts for Christmas. First time I'd cooked duck breasts. They came out okay, but I'll do way better next time. They came out about medium, when medium rare was my goal. The skin was a little less crispy than I wanted, due to selecting the wrong recipe. And they weren't as warm as I would have liked at serving time, due to trying to do to many things that finished at the last second. But it was a good learning experience and I'll knock them out of the park next time.

Tonight we had the legs and thighs. I did a braise but kept the skin crispy. They were phenomenal, maybe better. Used this recipe:

The rest (carcass, wings, neck, and giblets) went into a stock. If it were me, this would go into a gumbo. But the Mrs. doesn't like gumbo. Any ideas that would show off a great stock?

I have better chance of getting a BJ than having my wife make duck....
