Friday Feast: Spicy Duck (Or Goose) Wraps

Since many are enjoying duck and goose season, here’s a simple recipe that will help you sift through the birds you have piled up in the freezer. The Sporting Chef Scott Leysath shares one of his go-to recipes, spicy duck (or goose) wraps.

Now, don’t let the word “spicy” turn you away. The amount of heat can easily be adjusted, or eliminated altogether. Turn down the heat by removing the ribs and seeds from the pepper and reduce the amount of Sriracha in the marinade - you can spare your tongue from a heat bath.



Ingredients:
2 cups skinless duck or goose breast fillets, sliced across the grain
4 large flour tortillas
Lettuce
Tomato
Jack cheese

Marinade
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
1 jalapeño pepper, sliced into rings
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 green onions, roughly chopped 1/2 cup olive oil 

Herb Mayonnaise
2 large egg yolks 
3/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard 
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 
1 clove garlic, minced 1 cup vegetable oil 
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs—parsley, basil, chives, oregano, etc.
Salt and pepper

Instructions:
1. To prepare the marinade, whisk together all ingredients except the olive oil in a medium bowl. Once the mixture is well blended, add the olive oil in a thin stream, whisking until emulsified.

2. Add the sliced duck or goose to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, cover, and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours, turning occasionally.

3. To prepare the mayonnaise, place the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and garlic in a blender or food processor. Pulse to blend. With the motor running on low speed, add the vegetable oil in a thin stream until the mayonnaise is creamy. Add the herbs and season the mayo to taste with salt and pepper. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

4. Remove the sliced breast fillets from the marinade and pat dry. Cook in a hot, lightly oiled skillet for 2 to 3 minutes or until desired doneness.

5. To serve, spread a layer of mayonnaise over each flour tortilla. Add the cooked breast fillets, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Fold over the bottom flap and roll tightly.
