Sesame Coated Diver Duck Appetizer with Spicy Mayonnaise

Ingredients

  • 2 cups diver duck breasts skin removed
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons DU Apricot Wasabi Sauce!
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • ½ cup Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • vegetable or peanut oil
  • 12 – 15 wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes

Spicy Mayonnaise

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha Asian Chili Garlic Sauce or substitute your favorite hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions

  • Remove the skin. Diver skin can taste pretty funky. If you want to add some fat and flavor, wrap it bacon.
  • Trim away any gristly areas on the underside of the breast.
  • Slice duck into finger-width strips. Combine soy sauce with next 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Add duck and toss to coat. Cover and marinade for 2 – 4 hours. Remove from marinade and coat with mustard. Roll pieces in sesame seeds. Heat a thin layer of oil in a medium heat skillet. Add duck and brown lightly on all sides, about 3 – 4 minutes total cooking time. Remove duck and skewer with wooded skewers. Arrange on a platter and drizzle Spicy Mayonnaise over.

Mayonnaise Instructions

  • Whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Place in a zipper-lock plastic bag. Cut a tiny piece of the corner off of the bag and pipe a thin stream of the mayonnaise over skewered duck.
