Crispy Fried duck over garlic pasta

Some of the best camp meals aren't the ones with the longest ingredient lists.  They're the ones built from a successful hunt, cooked over a hot skillet, and shared after a long day outdoors.  Crispy fried duck paired with buttery garlic pasta delivers comfort food with a waterfowl twist, easy enough for a weeknight and good enough for camp.

Yield: 4-6 Servings
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes

ingredients

  • 4 duck breasts, pounded flat
  • 1 package seasoned panko breadcrumbs (Kinder's Italian Blend works well)
  • 1 box Pasta Roni Garlic & Olive Oil
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Optional: grated parmesan, marinara, or your favorite sauce

instructions

1.  Prepare the Duck

Pound the duck breasts to an even thickness.  This helps them cook consistently and creates a tender bite.

2.  Bread the Duck

Coat each breast evenly in the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing the breading into the meat.

3.  Fry Until Golden

Heat a shallow layer of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.  Fry the duck breasts until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.

4.  Cook the Pasta

Prepare the Pasta Roni according to the package instructions.

5.  Build the Plate

Spoon the pasta into a bowl or onto a plate and top with the crispy fried duck.  Finish with parmesan, sauce, or your favorite topping.

Pro Tips: 

  • Pound each breast evenly so they cook at the same rate
  • Keep the oil shallow for a crisp, golden crust.
  • Let the duck rest for a few minutes after frying to keep it juicy.
  • Mallards, pintails, and teal all work exceptionally well in this recipe.
