Most of that is just waiting.The meat is not cooked — it's cured. After salting, the duck breast, or magret de canard, cures for three weeks in the refrigerator. You just roll it up, skin side out — or leave it flat, the way I did — and wrap it in a dish towel or cheese cloth. Leave it there for three weeks to cure.

Recouvrir un magret de gros sel.
Placer le magret 48h au frigo.
Débarasser du gros sel.
Poivrez.
Rouler le magret, peau à l'extérieur.
Oublier 21 jours le magret enveloppé
dans un torchon au frigo.
Le déguster en tranches
à la manière d'un jambon de pays.

Above is the recipe I found on the French cooking site marmiton.org, which I used.
Delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt's only 9 AM and I am feeling hungry already.
ReplyDeleteAppétissant ( 110% sure it does taste delicious also)
Yum! I buy this all of the time, and had no idea it would be so simple to make myself...
ReplyDeleteI think I'll just get mine in a restaurant.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful and I will try it in the fall. Thanks for posting it. (We love the "cake" with ham, cheese and olives; thanks for that, too.)
ReplyDeleteDo you keep the duck in a special refrigerator that stays closed all the time to maintain a constant temperature, or did you cure it in your every day frigo?
