Jonty Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Picked up a couple of duck breasts on sale today, I thought I’d have a go at air drying them. They’re not massive so the whole-hole process shouldn’t take very long. I’ve made a basic dry cure of salt, Prague powder, juniper and garlic. They’ll sit in the fridge for a few days then I’ll rinse them off and hang them to air dry - hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ll give them another day or two before hanging them in the shed erm curing chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonty Posted March 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 I’ve let these breasts dry out a little more than I would have liked - completely lost track of time. But, they are absolutely delicious, like rich prosciutto with a sweet aftertaste of duck fat. Definitely worth a try as they are incredibly easy to do.

Although, from your amazing bacon thread, I suspect you’ve got that sussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangolin Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Curing meats deffo needs its own subcategory in the food and drink section. Keep a nice catalogue in one place. Edited March 28, 2021 by Pangolin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
