Gressingham Memphis Barbecue Pulled Duck
From Cookipedia
(Redirected from Gressingham Pulled Duck)
Gressingham Memphis BBQ Pulled Duck is delicious, if not slightly misleading. It's not ready to serve (or heat) pulled duck, it's 2 partly cooked duck legs, in a foil oven tray with a sachet of Memphis barbecue sauce.
These are delicious and make a great filling for rolls, sandwiches, tortillas and tacos. When I first spotted them I used the pulled duck to make Memphis BBQ pulled duck tacos. A fabulous meal, let down by piss-poor taco shells. Excuse the profanity, I am still cross about these miserable ingredients!
The packet suggests discarding the juices after 25 minutes of cooking, however, I reserved the juices and allowed them to cool overnight. In the morning what was left was almost all lovely jelly and hardly any fat. What a waste!
