⁣Smokey McBBQ starts us off with his BBQ Crowd Pleaser! 🎅✨⠀ If you’re like us at Samba, the silly season has well and truly started! ...So what can you serve for a bit of wow when you’re the host for your Christmas get togethers this year?⠀ ⠀ Here’s what Deniz our Sambassador is serving this year. Duck Crostini! ⠀ Great dish idea, as it works as either a canape or starter 👌⠀ ⠀ Method:⠀ 1. Set your grill or smoker for indirect cooking at 120~130 C with Samba Smoke ‘n’ Grill Oak Chunks.⠀ 2. Prepare the duck breasts by scoring or using a fork poke holes in the skin of the duck to help render fat.⠀ 3. Smoke the duck for 30-45 mins until you reach an internal temperature of 55-60 C and allow 5 mins rest.⠀ 4. While the duck is cooking, toast a slice of baguette for appetizers portion or panini for entree size.⠀ 5. Slice Brie cheese to layer on top of the crostini, and torch to melt the cheese and add some color.⠀ 6. Place the crostini on a bed of rocket, layer on sliced duck and garnish with pomegranate and vino cotta.⠀ ⠀ Serves:⠀ 2-3 slices of duck for an entree (panini), or 1 slice for appetizers (baguette) you get roughly 6-7 serves from 1 breast.⠀ ⠀ Enjoy!⠀ ⠀ #sillyseason #bbqcrowdpleasers #ambassador #christmasrecipe #bbqlovers
