If waterfowl were more readily available, we would consume it each and everyday, some of us at the warehouse for breakfast, lunch and dinner! For many of us, these duck lettuce wraps would be part of a last supper if we could create the menu! The red meat of birds that spend so much of their lives in cold water is intense, succulent, and totally satisfying — even a few medallions will fill you. The skin and fat cap on duck are delicacies of the first order. The lettuce in these wraps offsets the strength of the duck flavors and the five-spice is one of our favorite flavorings for duck!
Born and raised in Sicily, Saro di Liberto, is no doubt one of the best chefs we have ever met. As is the tradition with most true Italian recipes, his recipe for turkey is very simple. Saro believes that with meat of this caliber, you should treat it lightly and let it do most of the work for you. He would never brine! Enjoy!
Brining chicken in a buttermilk bath before frying it to crispy golden-brown perfection has been a long standing southern tradition, but did you know using buttermilk to brine your chicken will produced juicy, fall off the bone tender result when roasted in your over too!
Grandma Litke was a God fearing woman and never missed Church on Sunday, which meant she had to get up early to start Sunday dinner. One of her Sunday specials was baked chicken. She’d get everything ready and just before she walked out the door it all went into the oven. She knew her hen would take longer to bake than most and she had the cooking time planed according to the standard 45 minute sermon, 3 hymns, the offering and the preacher handshake as they went out the door of the church. By the time they had arrived home the house smelled wonderful, and the bird, well the bird was cooked to perfection.
