“This is a great appetizer using wild duck breast. It reminds me of an appetizer I've had at formal gatherings that uses chicken livers.” - by Annmarie

Ingredients

1/2 cup dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
2 skinned, boned duck breast halves
16 whole water chestnuts, drained
8 slices bacon, cut in half

Original recipe yields 16 pieces

Directions

Whisk the sherry, soy sauce, peanut oil, and ginger together in a mixing bowl until evenly blended. Cut the duck breast into 16 pieces and place into the marinade along with the water chestnuts; toss to coat. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Drain the marinade from the duck meat and discard. Place a duck piece onto a water chestnut, and wrap with half a bacon slice. Secure with a toothpick, and place onto a broiler pan. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Broil until the bacon is just crisp, about 10 minutes, turning once.

"I served this as a Christmas Day appetizer. I did not have any dry sherry, so I substituted 1/2 dry vermouth and 1/2 sweet vermouth which worked out well. People really enjoyed this appetizer. It i..." See mores a bit expensive to prepare at $10 per duck breast...but worth it for a special occasion."
