Shayne's Smoked Caraway/Mustard Duckling.

You blokes are gunna get sick of my Duck recipes, I grant you that

Did this on the weekend and ohhhhh so yum

Okay...............

Brine the Duck in,,,

3 litres water

1/2 cup salt

1/2 cup B sugar

1 tsp Whole black Pepper corn

1 tsp Yellow Mustard seeds

1.5  tsp Caraway Seeds.

When its done, prick the skin all over where the fat is then pour a full kettle of boiling water over the Duck.

Then hang to dry the skin under the power of a desk fan.

Meanwhile, drain the brine and reserve the spices

Prepare the glaze and the stuffing.

2 tsp Dijon mustard

2 tsp whole grain mustard
1/4 cup honey
3 tsp caraway seeds
1 tsp salt

Warm to combine in ya microwave.

Then combine a diced green apple and a handful of pitted Dates, mixed with the reserved brining spice

Stuff the Duck and close the vent area with a skewer threaded

I LIGHTLY smoke mine using Apple done on the Weber Rotti.

Glaze right at the end other wise your bird will blacken with a blink of the eye lid.

I am loving Caraway. Goes great with Duck
