Whether you want to stick to classic cookout fare or step it up with a smoked option, Maple Leaf Farms offers a variety of recipes that are simple to make but can satisfy your pickiest guest.
Grilling Classics
If you are interested in a quick weeknight meal on the grill, look no further than this simple recipe. Easy to prepare and packed with flavor, this is a great place to start if you are new to grilling duck or want to introduce your guests to it.
With premade pizza crusts and our fully cooked duck meat, this recipe is a quick option that will give you plenty of opportunity to visit with your guests. And, since everyone loves pizza and BBQ, this is a delicious dish that will satisfy everyone!
If you don’t have time to fire up the grill, this recipe for baked BBQ duck is just as good! The spicy barbecue sauce complements the rich flavor of the duck.
Break out the Smoker Grill
Simple savory smoked duck legs are a prefect menu solution! Oregano and thyme combine in a dry rub that enhances the rich, meaty flavor of the duck legs. We recommend smoking them with Brussels sprouts as a side and serving with a cool glass of lemonade.
Smoked Duck Confit Mac & Cheese
Creamy mac and cheese is a cookout staple. Make it a memorable dish by preparing on the smoker and topping with Duck Confit, breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
