This BBQ duck recipe takes all the fat off the breast to make for some really tasty barbecue duck kebabs with dried apricots and with a brushing of Cointreau (or Grand Marnier) to finish.
I first saw these kebabs in a Charcuterie in France and I just had to try them. It always makes me laugh that in the days when we are supposed to shy away from preprepared food and make everything fresh that this typically French trade is alive and well – and long may it stay that way.
This recipes is really easy to do, just remember that if you’re using bamboo skewers to make sure that you’ve given them 30 minutes to soak before cooking.
Ingredients:-
2 Duck breasts
24 dried apricots soaked in water for 1 hour
Cointreau or Grand Marnier
Method:-
Remove the skin and fat from the duck breasts and diced the meat up into decent sized cubes. Thread one cube of duck alternately with an apricot until everything is used up and then you’re ready to go.
Over medium heat, grill the kebabs for 15 minutes and in the final few minutes brush with the Cointreau.
