Good couple of days

Went out Friday morning for a solo mallard hunt. Took half the day to limit out, partly because I wasn't shooting the hens, but it was worth the effort. Cooked them up last night and boy they were tasty. I love fresh water mallards.

Then Saturday I took my brother down the coast and we had a really fun day.

Marinated them using-

Apple cider vinegar
Worcester shire sauce
Wildfowl seasoning mix (salt, pepper, garlic and I forget what else is in there)

Marinate for 12-24hrs

Heat an iron skillet with olive oil, cook breast approx. 8 mins each side or until medium. Glaze each side with the marinade.

Once the breast is cooked, remove from skillet and set aside. Pour 1 bottle of beer in skillet to deglaze the pan. Add 2 tblspn of flour, 2 tblspn of sugar, a bit of Worcester sauce and simmer until the sauce is reduced to a thick gravy. Serve over the duck and bam!

I made this for Sunday dinner with the family and there was none left. It was great. The gravy has a nice sweet taste to it.

Hey Davey, that recipe sounds really good, we have a couple mallards that we are going to try that on over the weekend

Davey plus 2 on that recipe.. did you use a amber beer or dark? It sounds good and i bet like you said none was left.
