I MADE THE DUCK BURGERS AND THEY WERE SO GOOD. THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE!!
Right on Amy, so glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
Two points.
1. Very interesting to see the aminos in the receipt. I don´t think I have seen that before. How does it affect the taste ?
2. To get the sugars in the onions to caramelize they need to be slow cooked over medium to low heat for rather long time (approx 1 hour or more). Make sure you don´t fry them with to high heat. It sounds like 15 minutes to get the onions ready is to short.
PS. Great show.
First time I have had ground duck and WOW, this was DELICIOUS!!! Tonight may have been the first but definitely not the last!
Thanks for the feedback, Sandra. Glad you enjoyed this recipe!
