Cured meat is a bit like wine it’s improving with time. So if you love shiraz or syrah and duck, here is a recipe that combines Duck Prosciutto & Shiraz.
Our first #reciporn = foodporn+wineporn! Just on time for Christmas celebrations.
It’s super easy, less than 30 minutes preparation and mainly all you need is a duck breast, a ton of salt and wine.
Ingrédients :
- Duck breast
- Salt (a lot and raw salt is better/cheaper)
- 2 oz of red wine (Shiraz)
- Salt and pepper
- Dry herbs
Equipment :
- Ziplock
- Clean dish cloths and paper towel
- Patience to wait the 2 weeks drying!
SHIRAZ & DUCK PROSCIUTTO
MAGRET SÉCHÉ (ma-grey say-chay in frenh) /Cured meat duck breast

STEP 1 Salt+wine Cooking
- Like picture above cover red meat with herbs, salt & pepper.
- In a ziplock put some raw salt (in big chunks) place magret fat skin down.
- Add raw salt on red meat and 1 once of Shiraz. Close ziplock removing air.
- Store at the bottom of your fridge for 18 hours.
STEP 2 Drying
- Rince in clear water
- Add water in a bowl with 1 oz of Shiraz to cover magrets, let it sleep 30min in the fridge.
- Dry with a paper towel.
- Add Pepper, piment d’Espelette (paprika, red pepper…) and dry herbs.

I strongly recommend that you buy a complete duck, you’ll get two breasts for the price of one!
