The warmer weather is upon us, and with it the urge to bring out the barbecue and enjoy some conviviality! With family or friends, why not try barbecued duck? Here are a few tips and tricks for a successful duck barbecue. Choice cuts, cooking, accompaniments... find out all you need to know about the best ways to prepare duck in the great outdoors.
Barbecued duck: which cuts to choose?
If you want to bring lightness and finesse to your barbecues, duck is the ideal alternative. Its juicy, flavorful meat lends itself particularly well to braise, gas or plancha cooking!
To make your grilling a success, we've put together a small selection of the most suitable cuts for this type of cooking.
First of all, the piece of choice: the magret, of course! An emblematic product of the Gers region, you can buy our Gers duck magret individually (an average of one magret for 2 people) or in packs of ten. Specially designed for grilling, this batch of ten comes with two extra magrets free of charge! This is definitely the good news for barbecue lovers this spring.
Other parts of the duck are delicious grilled in the garden on a Sunday lunchtime! For example, aiguillettes or duck hearts will delight the most demanding meat lovers. Particularly popular with children, the aiguillette is the least fatty part of the duck. Tender and fleshy, it cooks in just a few minutes. Perfect for impatient eaters! Duck hearts are also very quick to cook. Simply cut in half and stripped, they're perfect on skewers or just grilled on both sides.
Don't forget our fresh Gers duck sausage, which will add a touch of originality to your barbecues.
Preparing and cooking duck breast on the barbecue
When it comes to cooking and preparation, the possibilities are endless!
For the duck breast, remember to make incisions in a grid pattern on the skin side, without cutting into the flesh. Place your barbecue grill high enough to keep it away from the flames. You can season your duck breast before cooking, and place it skin-side down on the hot grill first. If you prefer your duck breast to be pink to the core, let it cook for 5 to 7 minutes, then turn it over with tongs and cook the other side.
For more variety, opt for a marinade! With honey and sesame, raspberry vinegar or figs, the recipes are many and tasty!
Serve your barbecued duck breast with seasonal accompaniments: roast potatoes, grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a fresh, delicious meal.
