It was really tasty. There are 2 of us and I am real bad about using up leftovers. Once is enough for me on most food. I hate to let it waste. I need to use it tomorrow. Any leftover duck suggestions? I had thought about reheating it gently to warm and recrisp the skin and maybe do a kind of Chinese chicken salad thing with it but I am open to all sorts of suggestions.

Make a roux, brown the aromatics, etc as usual (put a little duck fat into the roux if possible). After adding the liquid (chicken stock is a good substitute for duck stock, unless you have some stashed in the fridge), drop in the stripped duck carcass and some sliced smoked sausage and cook for 30-50 minutes (or until foam subsides & liquid reduces a little), then taste for seasonings and add the deboned duck meat. Cook for 10-15 minutes more...this is an extremely shorthand-y gumbo recipe; I'm sure that you know how to make a gumbo without my detailed instructions! Or steal a page from Susan Spicer of Bayona in New Orleans: make duck, cashew butter, and pepper jelly sandwiches! Tue Aug 15 21:51:42 -0700 2006 1810250 12023 Hungry Celeste 2 1813684 I made the gumbo but will keep other suggestions in mind. Humidity settled down to a bearble 32% so the suggestion of FALL food was welcome. Monday it would be the furthest thing from my mind. Thu Aug 17 03:10:16 -0700 2006 1810318 10285 Candy 1 1810321 I would do a Spicy Thai Duck salad. Lots of Chile's, cilantro, mint, onions , fish sauce etc..

Shredded and wrapped in rice paper or Chinese pancakes with shredded cucumber and scallions and hoisin. Tue Aug 15 22:00:37 -0700 2006 1810250 10520 carswell 1 1810352 I woullld make a Thai duck noodle bowl with lemon grass, fish sauce, kaffir lime leaves, lime juice, galanga, sambal chili paste with garlic, rice noodles, fresh tomatoes and oyster mushrooms. Garnished with sprouts and fresh basil (I can't stand cilantro). Yum! Tue Aug 15 22:04:08 -0700 2006 1810250 12489 scottso 1 1810385 Last time I had some leftover duck I made little "pizzas". The crusts were done ahead by themselves, then a schmear of tamarind/date chutney on top of that, topped by the duck meat, and then topped with some mango/black bean salsa and a sprinkling of feta cheese. It was as good as the previous night's dinner. Tue Aug 15 22:14:12 -0700 2006 1810250 12713 TongoRad 2 1810508 My favorite pizza of all time is duck, fresh mozarella, radicchio, and leek (and probably a bit of olive oil on the vegetables). So good! I haven't had it in years. I need to get some leftover duck... Tue Aug 15 22:56:11 -0700 2006 1810385 12671 maillard 1 1810413 shred it. wrap it up in flour tortillas with some nice greens and some jalapeno jelly and maybe a dollop of sour cream, or mayo, or something else to moisten it up. enjoy. Tue Aug 15 22:24:01 -0700 2006 1810250 11796 tuqueboy 1 1810972 My mom use to make some type of duck soup/stock with the various bones and and assorted leftover pieces. Wed Aug 16 03:31:41 -0700 2006 1810250 22930 rcheng 1 1811047 A stock/soup would concentrate the pomegranate molasses/red wine flavor--nice, but not necessarily what you want when you use the stock to make another dish. I think the shredding/hash/salad ideas are the way to go... maybe a mesclun salad with a sherry vinaigrette and duck bits scattered through? Wed Aug 16 04:28:35 -0700 2006 1810250 17327 rootlesscosmo 1 1811347 I had a wonderful duck risotto in Montreal once. It didn't look pretty, but the taste was outstanding. You could try making stock from the carcass and adding shredded duck to the risotto when it's almost finished.

Thu Aug 17 01:31:42 -0700 2006 1811347 12958 MAH 1 1813706 Tacos? Maybe some incredible sandwich... with smoked sweet pepper aioli, red onions, and chutney? Leftover duck is a blessing.
