ABEL:
I MADE THE DUCK BURGERS AND THEY WERE SO GOOD. THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE!!
Right on Amy, so glad you enjoyed them! 🙂
It’s very tasty
Really very tasty
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.
Better little bit add haison souse& Julian cucumbers
Really very tasty
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!
Wow really very good
I can give you five star rating .IAM from Kuwait .IAM a chef fine dining I tried your burger .it’s. Fantastic .now IAM serving daily more than 30 burguar. Daily.so thanks
Wow! Thanks for the comment, Nishanth. That is really cool to hear. Thanks for trying the recipe, and sharing it!
Really very tasty
I made them for no other reason other than because I had all the ingredients on hand and I simply wanted a duck burger.
Dang it! If this is “diet food”, I want to be on a diet for the rest of my life! It was that good.
and I agree with what Helgi said (see above). I cubed my duck (skin on), I added the maple syrup to the cubes, pepper and black salt. I then ground the meat and made patties which I browned in duck fat as I had with the onions. Yeah… It was good. 🙂
your post is great
