Barbecued Duck Breasts on Sweet Corn Pancakes
This barbecue sauce is also excellent on chicken, pork or beef

  • 4 boneless duck breasts, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1 tablespoon minced gingerroot
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

Rinse the duck and pat dry.

 

Sauté the garlic, shallot and gingerroot in the sesame oil in a saucepan. Add the soy sauce, barbecue sauce, hoison sauce, brown sugar and wine vinegar and mix well.

 

Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let stand until cool. Brush the duck with the barbecue sauce.

 

This barbecue sauce may be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

 

Grill the duck over hot coals or broil for 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through, basting with the sauce frequently. Let stand for 4 to 5 minutes before slicing.

 

Place the Sweet Corn Pancakes on 4 dinner plates. Cut the duck cross grain into thin slices. Arrange over pancakes.

 

Bring the remaining sauce to a boil; drizzle the sauce around the outer edge of the plate.
