Evening all, I normally slice and pan fry teal with plenty black pepper and sometimes add a few chilly flakes and serve with a creamy mushroom rissotto but getting bored and my freezer is filling up so was going to treat the lads on Saturday, how does everyone else cook them while keeping it simple? Cheers

what about...hang them......3 days maybe....spatchcock them .....soak them in a nice sweet marinade over night....maybe plum based....then grill them.... baste them with the marinade whilst grilling

how does that sound....

serve with mashed ..buttered...sherried carrots...and baby pots tossed in mint sauce and butter

Teal this time of year are lovely round fat wee ducks.. very simple way of doing them, especially if you want to do  a good few of them is put your whole plucked teal in a roasting pan, or similar,  with a lid, casserole dish either.  All the same.. grind some sea salt and black pepper over them,  put a layer of smoked streaky rashers over them.  Put lid on. Place in oven gas mark 8 for 40 minutes,  turn down to gas mark 2 for 1.5 hours. Low n slow.  Take out,  leave  lid on, rest, still with lid on for bought 20 minutes. They will be falling of bone,  delicious.. another simple way is pluck teal, breast with skin, and legs on.. olive oil  ,butter in a hot pan, season teal . Place teal skin side down on pan, until you can feel top side of breast getting tepid,  turn teal,   and baste for another couple minutes. Remove teal from pan to warm plate. Leave rest for couple minutes.  Thinly slice..

as ditchman has said,  spatchcock them. Brilliant on a proper charcoal BBQ..
