If you’re looking for a new way to enjoy your wild duck harvest, then this Ultimate Wild Duck Verde Stew might just become your go-to recipe. Featured on the Wild Game Cuisine website, this Mexican-American-inspired dish blends the rich, savory flavors of duck with the zesty kick of Hatch green chiles and aromatic spices.
Cooking wild game is all about bringing out the best in the meat, and this stew does just that. The process starts by coating cubed duck breasts in flour before browning them in a preheated cast-iron skillet at 450 degrees. Once seared, the duck is joined by roasted Hatch green chiles, onions, and garlic, infusing the dish with layers of smoky and earthy flavors.
After about 20 minutes, the heat is reduced, and the real magic happens. Chicken broth, cumin, coriander, oregano, and other savory seasonings are added to the mix, allowing the stew to simmer into a rich, thick sauce over the course of an hour. The result? A melt-in-your-mouth tender duck dish with a bold, slightly spicy, and utterly satisfying flavor profile.
This recipe is as versatile as it is delicious. Garnish your bowl with fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, or even a squeeze of lime for an added burst of brightness. Serve it up with warm flour tortillas to soak up every drop of the savory broth.
For those who love experimenting in the kitchen with their fresh game meat, this dish is an exciting way to switch up your typical wild duck recipes. Whether you’re cooking in the heart of hunting season or want a hearty meal for cooler evenings, this stew is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
