- 1/2 Onion
- 2 Romaine Lettuce Leaves
- 2 Hot Dog Buns
- Shredded Cheese for salad, as needed
Sauces and Flavorings
- 1 Tbsp Whole Grain Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Sweet Relish
- Ketchup, as needed
- Honey Mustard Sauce, as needed
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1 Tbsp Whole Grain Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Sweet Relish
- Ketchup, as needed
- Honey Mustard Sauce, as needed
- 1 Tbsp Butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the fresh vegetables and sauces for the hot duck. Wash the romaine lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry. Finely shred 1/2 an onion. Have shredded cheese ready for topping. For the sauces, prepare whole grain mustard, sweet relish, ketchup, and honey mustard sauce. (Tip: Whole grain mustard adds a zesty kick, while sweet relish brings a sweet and sour note, enhancing the hot duck’s flavor.)
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the main components. Get 2 soft and delicious hot dog buns, 2 juicy frankfurters, and 8 slices of flavorful smoked duck breast.
Step 3
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a pan over low heat. Add the shredded onion and sauté until golden brown and fragrant. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, to bring out its natural sweetness without burning. (Tip: Adding a pinch of sugar while sautéing the onions can help caramelize them, making them even sweeter and more delicious.)
Step 4
Score the frankfurters in a diamond pattern; this helps them open up beautifully when cooked. To remove some excess oil and saltiness from the smoked duck slices, briefly blanch them in hot water. (Tip: Be careful not to over-blanch, as it can diminish the duck’s flavor.)
Step 5
After blanching, pat the sausages and smoked duck slices dry with a paper towel. Lightly sauté them in a pan with about 1 teaspoon of butter to enhance their flavor. Sauté the smoked duck until it’s lightly browned and slightly crispy.
Step 6
Spread a thin layer of whole grain mustard on the inside of the warmed hot dog bun. The zesty mustard will be the first impression of your hot duck.
Step 7
Place a fresh romaine lettuce leaf on top of the mustard-spread bun. Its crispiness will add another layer of texture to the hot duck.
Step 8
Next, generously add the golden-brown sautéed onions over the lettuce. The sweet, caramelized onions will elevate the overall taste of the hot duck.
Step 9
Arrange the smoked duck slices attractively over the onions. The rich, smoky flavor of the duck will contribute greatly to the hot duck’s deliciousness.
Step 10
Spread a thin layer of sweet relish over the smoked duck. The sweet and tangy relish cuts through richness and adds a refreshing element.
Step 11
Place the prepared frankfurter in the center of the hot dog bun, ensuring it fits snugly. The scored cuts should be nicely opened, making it look even more appetizing.
Step 12
Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese over the sausage. As the cheese melts, it will bind all the ingredients together smoothly.
Step 13
Drizzle honey mustard sauce over the cheese in a zigzag pattern, adding a sweet yet tangy flavor.
Step 14
Finally, add ketchup as desired to perfectly balance the flavors. The vibrant red ketchup makes the hot duck look even more appealing.
Step 15
Place the completed hot duck on a decorative plate lined with parchment paper for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy the burst of rich flavors and aromas with every bite!
