Sesame Crusted Duck Appetizer
Here’s an easy favorite from the first The Sporting Chef cookbook. Six ingredients and about fifteen minutes of preparation and cooking time. Buy your sesame seeds in the plastic bags hanging in the Hispanic section of the grocery store rather than in the regular spice section. They are a lot cheaper!
