Dry-Aged Duck (Leg) with Sweet Dried Fruit Recipe
The capabilities of the Dry Ager® are endless. It can perfectly dry age more than just steak. Excellent results can be obtained from duck and lamb as well.
For this dish, the ducks must come from a free-range source and should be of prime quality.
The meat from animals raised in intensive farming conditions will not yield an improved result. Generally, the water content is too high, and the flesh is not firm which dry aging cannot remedy.
The Dry Age Guy Tip: The best result is obtained after 10-15 days for dry aged ducks. The flavor profile does not improve further beyond this period of time.
