Time 21h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup salt
8 cups water
12 duck breast halves
12 slices bacon
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
toothpicks

Steps:

  • Mix together salt and water. Set aside 2/3 of the mixture, and pour the rest into a glass baking dish. Soak the duck in the salt water overnight to remove the gamey. Change the salt water twice, or until mostly clear.
  • The next morning, discard the salt water, and pour salad dressing over the duck breasts, and marinate for at least 8 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wrap each breast half in one strip of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place the breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • Bake for about 1 hour, or until bacon is crisp, and duck is cooked through.

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons ground duck meat
1 cup diced duck meat
2 tablespoons ground duck fat, plus more for cooking sausage
1/4 cup flour (add enough hot water to make a small pastry dough, about 2 tablespoons)
2 tablespoons port wine
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
Salt and pepper
Sugar
1 egg white
1 pound foie gras
Duck skin
Butcher's string

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients except for the foie gras. Mix well. Roll out and add the foie gras to the center. Roll into a sausage. Cover using the duck skin for casing. Tie with butcher's string to secure. Confit the duck sausage by cooking in duck fat in a very slow heat until cooked (about 25 minutes). Take out and roast in a roasting pan, in a preheated 350 degree oven, until golden brown and crispy.
