mmmm thinking of doing seared duck breat with taosted pine nuts and Port Wine pan sauce for dinner tonight. Thanks for the poultry thread.

 

[goku4658]

Oh yeah well, I think I'll get Boston Market instead, hehe.



J/k, that sounds like an awesome meal.

 

[Puckpimp71]

No time to do it today!!! I think I'll put it off until Saturday. Any suggestions for sides?

I still like Natey's answer best...LOL!!

i've found that a garlic herb couscous goes great with duck and it's easy and with that wine sauce it would be the bomb, then a side of asparagus, briefly blanch them in olive oil, butter and montreal steak seasoning then grill them for a couple of minutes, keep them crunchy though and do some deep fried baby portabella mushrooms.

Asparagus makes your PEE smell!!!!!!!

Yea Asparegus is a good side with a duck, or you can also take shitake mushrooms and saute them in a pan with a little bit of clarified butter, little salt and pepper. Oh and some very fine bread crumbs need to be added too.
Than once you have done that add a little bit of heavy cream and cook it down. You don't want it loose, but sorta of stiff and it makes a nice cream filling.

Than you can take some large white cap mushrooms toss them in the oven for about 5-10 mins just until a little soft. Take them out and stuff them lightly with the shitake's and than put your oven on broil, top the white cap with more bread crumbs and than toss back in the oven for like 3 mins tops.

If you like mushrooms it is a very nice side, Alton Brown did it the other day on Food Network....good stuff.

I did the shiitakes with this dish before (except I used pheasant). I stuffed them with sliced elephant garlic and herbes de provence then coated with panko and baked them... not too bad. Thanks for the input. Velocifero, that asparagus sounds great. I'll give it a whirl.

 

[goku4658]

wow...panco?!? as in Japanese bread crumbs? we got some real chefs in the house!

 

[Puckpimp71]

Not quite ...though I'll admit I'm good with food. I've got a great grouper recipe that came to me on the forum somewhere here... I've been cooking since I was four and all the restaurants and ethnic groups down here really expose you to a lot.

 

[Velocifero]

i love cooking and i've worked a few restaraunts, that japanese breading is so good, here's a good one try almond encrusted rainbow trout if you like fish, pm me i can give you more details, its really good and not fishy, you can use halibut or tilapia too.

 

[goku4658]

Tilapia is the s***...I like it with olive oil, lemon and capers mmmmmm

 

[Velocifero]

coat some tilapia with a heavy mixture of italian bread crumbs and parmesaen cheese, and a little garlic salt, fry it up, delicous! With homemade baked mac and cheese. tomatoes in balsamic vinegar, crispy garlic bread. yeah come on. but nothing compares to my moms chicken and dumplings, thats the only thing i ever request when my wife and i are visiting the rents.

 

[Puckpimp71]

I'd kill for some chicken and dumplings right now...

 

[Puckpimp71]

And some collard greens.

 

[Puckpimp71]

Rinse and cut collard green to bite size strips and set aside to dry. In a skillet over medium heat melt butter. Just before it starts to brown add diced bacon and render. Throw is some julienned red onions and saute until they start to sweat. Deglaze pan with a touch of red wine vinegar. Throw in collard greens, add salt, pepper, and red wine vinegar to taste. Easy, fast and amazing.

Ha, funny thing is that I thought about that not too long after I posted the second time. Wasn't thinking (from lack of sleep, just not about this!).

Any way, I started asking other people to see what they'd say, and everyone went into complex explainations about slow-twitch/fast-twitch muscle tissues, and how turkeys vary from ducks by where these muscles are. In the end, Geek nailed it.

Actually no he didn't. Ligaments connect bones to each other. Tendons connect muscles to bones. So substitute tendon for ligament in his answer and it's correct. Or in works Geek can understand 's/ligament/tendon/g'
