Disney Recipes

[MetalRage]

I wanna try some of these. I just hope I don't eat them so much that I get sick of them at Disney!

allears has a pretty good page of recipes from WDW:

Got this one from a Disney fan site (The Dis)

Mighty Duck

Ingredients
Brine:

* 1/2 cup kosher salt
* 1 pint pineapple orange juice
* 15 whole black peppercorns
* 1 bunch fresh thyme
* 4 cloves garlic, smashed
* 1 (5 1/2 to 6 pound) Mighty Duck
* 2 handfuls shredded chard
* 2 shallots, minced
* Dash sherry or balsamic vinegar

Directions

Combine all brine ingredients in a plastic container with a lid. Place the lid on the container and shake to dissolve the salt.

Remove the pop-up thermometer, liver, gizzards, and heart. Cut off the wings.

Using kitchen shears, locate the spine at the base of the neck. Cut up the line of the backbone towards the neck cavity. Turn the duck and cut straight towards the rear cavity. Remove the backbone.

Turn the duck over and cut straight down the middle of the breast bone, leaving 2 equal duck halves. To separate the legs from the breast, flip your halves over so the flesh side is facing up at you. Using a knife, make a crescent shape cut between the leg and the breast. Lay your knife flat against the skin and make 3 marks in one direction and then in the other, making an X. Make sure that you are cutting through the skin and not the meat.

Line the inside of a plastic lexan or a pot with a zip-top bag. Place the duck quarters inside the bag, and pour the brine over the duck. Seal the bag, ensuring that all air is removed from the bag. Brine the duck for 2 to 2 1/2 hours in the refrigerator.

Bring 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches of water to a boil in a large pot. Place a colander into the pot and line the sides of the colander with the duck. Do not stack the duck quarters on each other. Cover and turn the heat to medium low. Steam the duck for 45 minutes. Set oven to 475 degrees F. Place a large cast iron skillet into the oven.

Remove duck pieces from steamer and place legs, skin side down, into the hot skillet. Place the skillet into the hot oven immediately and cook the leg quarters for 10 minutes. Add the breasts, skin side down, and cook for 7 more minutes or until the duck takes on a deep mahogany color and the skin is very crisp.

Remove the duck from the skillet and rest under foil. Add the chard and the shallots to the skillet. Toss the chard in the fat until it barely wilts. Season with the sherry or balsamic vinegar.

Serve the duck with the chard.

YES! That's the bread! Thank you! Where did you find that recipe?

[Soarin08]

I must make that bread....

[elizabethswann]

I'm going to look at that all ears link and start figuring out what to make.

[momeja]

What a great recipe! Now, I need to go out and buy some pineapple concentrate. I can smell the bread already.

[Soarin08]

I'm going to look at that all ears link and start figuring out what to make.

If I do that, I'll be eating Disney food for the rest of the year.... OH MY, good idea!!!

[MmeLeota]

You know what? I don't care if you're the best chef and use the best ingredients and follow the recipe down to every last grain of salt, the food just won't taste the same as it does with that Disney magic sprinkled in (and there are only a few places where you can find that...and it's not sold in any store )

MHO, just sayin'

[Soarin08]

How right you are, MmeLeota. But still, it's the next best thing.... so it isn't bad.

[MmeLeota]

How right you are, MmeLeota. But still, it's the next best thing.... so it isn't bad.

No, it's not bad...but I would rather savor the experience at Disney. Take the Monte Cristo for example, if I had one everyday...even making it on my own, it wouldn't be as special when I actually have it at the park.

But I do understand the concept...

I like this idea! I'm growing tired of having spaghetti every week.

If you had a Monte Cristo every day, you would be one sick puppy!
My Mom tried one at a restaurant around here and commented that it was tasty but a bit on the greasy side. To which I replied, "What did you expect, it is a deep fried sandwich!"

[elizabethswann]

I couldn't handle all that fried food every day so I feel you on that.
