All about barbecuing > Consider duck for your next barbecue!
Finally summer is here - grilling, salads, dinner on the patio, picnics with a glass of rosé! But why not vary your summer menu and delight your friends and family with our delicious suggestions for cooking duck on the barbecue!
Whole duck breast on the grill
Using a sharp knife, score the skin of the duck breast in a crisscross pattern. This will allow the fat to render more easily, basting the meat.
If the breast is too thick, cut it in half lengthwise. Then butterfly each half: that is, make a horizontal cut almost all the way across so that you can open the breast up like a book.
Brush the duck breasts with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Preheat the barbecue until very hot. Place the duck breasts on the grill, skin side down, and cook for about 3 minutes until the skin is golden. Turn and cook 5 minutes longer.
Let rest on aluminum foil for 5 minutes before serving.
Whole duck breast on the grill, with marinade
Brush each duck breast generously with the marinade, place in a dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
Two hours before cooking the duck breasts, remove them from the refrigerator so that they come to room temperature, thus allowing the marinade to finish its work.
