Dishes from Poultry

Once, poultry meat was considered a delicacy, and game was served at noble tables on special occasions. Now, preparing poultry dishes is normal for everyday menus. There are many recipes for second courses made from duck, chicken, turkey, goose, and grouse.

Poultry meat has little intramuscular connective tissue, and there is the least in the breast. Therefore, it is softer and more tender than meat from animals, especially in broiler chicken.

Poultry dishes pair well with any side dish, and they can be prepared in various ways: boiled, fried, stewed, baked, including in foil.

Several Tips

  1. Before cooking, it is advisable to marinate poultry meat. This will shorten cooking time and remove the specific smell from goose and duck.
  2. Instead of vinegar for marinating, it is better to use dry white wine.
  3. If you moisten the bird with cold water before finishing cooking, its skin will become crispy. And if you want the bird to brown well, brush it with sour cream before baking.
  4. When stuffing the bird, do not pack the filling too tightly, otherwise, the skin may burst when heated.
  5. If the bird has browned enough in the oven but is still not cooked through, cover it with foil or damp parchment paper.
  6. If you want to remove some fat from goose and duck, pierce the excessively fatty parts of the carcass during cooking with a fork.

Dishes from Duck

Duck Main Course Recipes Duck meat, compared to turkey and chicken, is fattier but also more nutritious. It can be braised, boiled, fried in pieces, or roasted whole. And that's far from everything that can be prepared from duck as a main course. For example, in Asia, they make warm salads and very tasty spring rolls from it. The most popular dish is Peking duck, while in French restaurants, duck leg confit is considered a traditional dish. In many countries, hosts consider it their duty to prepare duck with apples and oranges in the oven for Christmas. It is recommended to stuff a large, fatty carcass. The filling can include berries, vegetables and fruits, eggs, mushrooms, various types of cereals, nuts, pasta, pancakes. Apples, pears, plums, oranges, and apricots pair well. All these ingredients can be used separately or combined, for example – rice with prunes, cabbage with potatoes. Properly cooked duck is tender, juicy with a pleasant taste, but it easily dries out when fried, becoming tough and drier. To keep the meat juicy and tender, it is necessary to baste it with fat, maintain the correct temperature, and cooking time. This section contains step-by-step recipes for cooking duck with videos, photos, calorie information, and required time. Side dishes for duck dishes should be light, low-calorie, able to balance the calorie content of the fatty meat dish: legumes, grains, vegetables, lettuce leaves, and other greens, including potatoes.
