MESQUITE BBQ BEANS

SOUTH TEXAS BARBECUED DUCK

Steps:

• Light a charcoal grill or smoker, or heat oven to 250.
• Make a dry rub by combining the cinnamon, coriander, cumin, black pepper and seasoned salt in a small bowl. Season the duck aggressively with the rub, applying it all over the body, inside and out.
• If smoking, place the duck on the smoker and cover, keeping the heat around 220 to 250. If grilling, move coals to one side of the grill and place duck on the other, away from the direct flame, then cover the grill. If oven-roasting, place duck in a roasting pan, and put in the oven.
• Cook the duck for 2 hours or so, until it has taken on some color, then remove from the heat, and place on a large sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap the duck in the foil, using another sheet if necessary.
• Place the wrapped duck in a clean roasting pan, and put in the oven to continue cooking for 2 or 3 more hours, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone. Serve with tortillas and salsas.
