The duck is braised in a lovely broth with wine and rosemary and dried mushrooms and all this results in the most tender meat I’ve ever tasted. I found the recipe on A Mingling of Tastes, a blog I just recently discovered via Food Blog Search (that nifty little tool you see there at the right of the screen). I’ll certainly be going through the archives for other little jewels like this one!
I didn’t change much to the recipe, just omitted the whole cloves and used a package of mixed, dried mushrooms. I didn’t make the suggested toasted pasta, I didn’t have time, but instead served it with Pantacce, a flat, square shaped pasta that went really well with this. Other than that the recipe is perfect. You can find it over here. Thank you Julie!

Delicious! I've never actually cooked duck because it is one of those "special" meats! I should give it a shot! :)
I wish my husband would come home with treasures like duck! I've actually never cooked duck. It's something on my "list" though!
Yours looks great!
pantacce. i've never heard of it, i've never seen it, but i'm definitely fascinated by it.
guazzetto. i've never heard of it, definitely can't pronounce it, but i want some right now. :)
I've not seen that pasta before - looks great in this dish.
Is it wrong that I'd like this for breakfast??
Duck sounds wonderful! It's not something I have very often.
I've never had duck.
This looks delicious!
i love duck, and i'm with you on the "specialness."
i actually have some duck legs in my freezer from the last time i made duck (i only needed breasts, but ended up having to buy a whole bird). and now they have a destiny.
i've never heard of the pasta shape, but i like it!
What a great picture. . . and such a tasty way to use leftover duck. It's cheap here in China, way cheaper than chicken. We eat it as pan-fried duck breast, usually, but this provides an excellent alternative suggestion. Thanks!

I have never tried duck, LyB, but by the look of this dish I know I'd be licking the plate!
Your version looks beautiful! That pasta is a perfect choice, but you must try the scraggly, toasted homemade stuff (although it probably won't look as pretty)!
This looks so good. I've never made duck before, but this is inspiring me!
That duck dish looks great and sounds really tasty! I have yet to try duck but it is definitely on my to try list.
My duck memories since I was a kid involve some serious smoke in the kitchen. Since then I tried to stay away from it, your dish though looks delicious and I love that pasta touch!
I had duck for the first time at the Corks & Forks event I went to. I loved it! This looks delicious.

Grace - lol! When we were eating this I couldn't stop saying "guazzetto", with this fake Italian accent!
Nic - Cute, huh?
Elle - Mmmm, guazzetto for breakfast!
Brilynn - We hadn't had duck in years before this, we won't wait years to make it again though!
Carrie - Thank you!
Michelle - I only discovered this pasta shape recently and I love it!
