Grilled duck leg with fruit - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage
Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other fruits that grill well, such as peaches, plums, or even mango. Just adjust the grilling time as needed to ensure they don't become too soft.
If you don't have unagi sauce, teriyaki sauce makes a good substitute. You could also try a slightly sweet balsamic glaze for a similar flavor profile.
Leftover grilled duck leg should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consumed within 2-3 days. Make sure it cools down completely before refrigerating.
Yes, you can freeze the grilled duck leg. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. Note that the texture might be slightly different after freezing.
This dish pairs well with a variety of side dishes. Consider serving it with rice pilaf, quinoa salad, roasted vegetables (like asparagus or bell peppers), or a simple green salad.
Yes, you can use duck breast. However, duck breast cooks much faster than duck leg, so reduce the grilling time significantly. Aim for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
To make this recipe low-carb, replace the pineapple and apple with lower-carb fruits like berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries). Also, be mindful of the unagi sauce since it can be high in sugar and carbs and consider using a sugar-free alternative.
