I cooked some duck for Easter. OMG. Duck!

[htuttle]

Skin-on boneless filets, pan seared in butter, in a sauce made from drippings, shallots, port wine, Door County cherries, honey, orange marmalade and chicken stock.

I never made duck before.

Wow. Duck!

1. WOW indeed!

Have you seen movie Julie and Julia? One of her last recipes, from Julia Child's great cookbook, required her to bone a duck, and she DID it!

It's been many years since I made duck, so I recall NOTHING! Brave of you!

3. I had a (professionally) foodie friend tell me to cook it like a steak...

...and treat the fat like liquid gold.

I still have about 1/4 cup left from two filets that I stuck in the fridge. I might stir fry something with it....

This was the first time I can remember having duck, and while it was hella expensive, it was really good.

4. Potatoes fried in duck fat turn ambrosial

and the fat is great for use in most savory things in the place of what you'd ordinarily use.

2. Wait till you make/try a Turducken! Super wow!
