Serves : 4
Ingredients :
- 1 x small duck or 4 duck legs
- For the dry rub - 10gr each of the following:
- Brown sugar
- Sweet Smoked Paprika
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- Ground cumin
- Salt
- Ground pepper
- Cayenne pepper (optional!)
- 200ml of your favourite bbq sauce
- 8 pcs Smoked streaky bacon
- 100g cheese such as cheddar/mozzarella etc
- 1 x pack cannelloni tubes
Method
STEP 2 : We will be cooking this meat indirectly and the cooking should take 90mins - 2hours approx.
STEP 3 : Rub a small amount of oil onto the duck skin, then apply a liberal amount of the dry rub, reserve the rest for another cook.
STEP 4 : Put a small tray under the duck to catch any fat and place the duck on the BBQ and set vents to about 50% to avoid the heat increasing too much
STEP 5 : When the duck is cooked, set aside and pick the meat down, add the BBQ sauce to achieve a fluid consistency, add the cheese and mix well.
STEP 6 Stuff the cannelloni shells with the duck mix and place in a container in the fridge.
*for best results leave to stand in the fridge for a while to allow the pasta to soften slightly*
STEP 7 : Wrap the shells in the streaky bacon and finish over the hot coals until the centre is piping hot, brush with a touch more of the sauce a few minutes before they come off the grill.
*Serve immediately!
