Here is my recipe for homemade dried duck breast, just as we make it as a family every year for the holidays!

Dried duck breast is a delicacy that can be served as part of a cocktail dinner alongside other tapas. But it’s also an essential ingredient in Gascon salad, along with other duck products like gizzards and foie gras.

By making this dried duck breast yourself, you’ll take pride in having created your own product, using a duck whose origin you know.

Another advantage of this homemade dried duck breast is that you can season it however you like, by varying the type of pepper you use, or by adding other herbs or spices, such as herbes de Provence. I’ve included a few seasoning ideas in this recipe, but I’m curious to hear your own suggestions.

So go ahead and give this dried duck breast a try—let me know how it turns out!

Magret de canard séché : instructions

  • 1
    Place the duck breast in a deep container and cover it with salt for 36 hours.
  • 2
    Next, remove the salt with a paper towel, and rub the duck breast with another paper towel soaked in aged wine or brandy.
  • 3
    Generously season the duck breast with pepper and press it in with the back of a spoon. You might also want to try different seasonings; I’ve included a few ideas in the “Ingredients” section.
  • 4
    Wrap your duck breast in a kitchen towel and place it at the bottom of your refrigerator for at least 3 weeks. The longer you let it rest, the more it will continue to dry out and firm up.
  • 5
    Enjoy your cured duck breast by slicing it thinly, and keep the rest refrigerated.

    Très bon et facile à réaliser. Peut-on réutiliser plusieurs fois le sel. Merci pour la réponse

      Bonjour merci pour votre commentaire ! Alors il serait théoriquement possible de récupérer le sel, mais il faudrait le nettoyer et ensuite lui faire perdre son eau, soit au soleil soit au four. Entre le temps que ça prendrait et le coût énergétique, je ne suis pas sûr qu’on s’y retrouve au bout du compte, mais ça n’est que mon avis personnel 🙂
