Teal and Wood Duck Gravy Recipe?
Posted on 12/17/24 at 7:27 am

I've got 9 ducks brining in the fridge, trying to figure out how to cook them. I normally use John Folse's recipe and make gravy with wine, stock, trinity, flour etc. but last time I cooked it, they were just ok. Anybody use any different recipes for ducks?

Open up the Recipe Book thread. It’s got some good options.

Thank you for that. Had no idea that existed. What an amazing resource. I found the teal recipe seperately in an old thread but didn't know the extent of the recipes in the cookbook

They make such a rich gravy that I dont do much, brown like hell in a dutch oven, use about 1/3 cup of oil. Brown and scrape, once all ducks brown pull out at veg and enough flour to absorb all oil, let all that mellow out while scraping bottom and not burning onions. Then add stock to make a pretty thin gravy and add ducks back in. Put in a 325 degree oven for a couple of hours and they should be tender but not falling to pieces, serve over some rice. You can add a quartered orange if you like, or just a splash of OJ to brighten it up a bit. That is my basic baked/stewed duck recipe. Sometimes I brown some good sausage prior and add it back with the duck. Tasso is good as well, or andouille.

What tigerfoot said. We used to bring ducks to an old lady from Cameron every year for her and in return she would cook a pot for us. She used turnips in her recipe and they the best pot roasted ducks I’ve ever had.

Season liberally
Brown them down very well at medium head to draw as much of the fat out of the skin (they better be skin on w/ legs and not just breasts....)
remove from the pot
Cook down a couple onions and some bell peppers in butter
Once the onions are cooked down, put the ducks back in the pot can keep browning
Add some liquid and put it in the oven.
Check periodically to add water if needed
this is just a rough process, go with what feels right and it'll be super tender and delicious

You’re gonna need at least 3 tomatoes

Used GC Hunter's recipe from the cookbook. The gradu tastes burnt but gonna send it anyways. Live and learn
Final product: gradu turned out good. Will cook again. Added tasso

Ducks in olive gravy. Cotton Country Cookbook. You are welcome.
Second, ducks and turnips ( use small turnips, they turn really sweet)

Dang rip
Prolly shoulda taken bones out
Anyway I always bread and fry mine in butter and save the seasoned flour to make a roux. Butter makes a better roux than oil

Turnip roots or greens?
I use the roots in slow braised dishes like lamb shanks and they are outstanding. Adds a nice spicy flavor to the dish.
