Looking for quick and easy new recipes for weekday meals, but keep coming back to the same old favourites? We understand that it can be challenging to vary your menu when you love your “sure bets”, but changing your habits can be as simple as varying your proteins. We’re fond of the “other” red meat, ain’t you?
Duck can easily replace traditional red meats. In fact, duck meat is an equally good source of protein, as well as being high in vitamins and minerals such as iron, omega-3, potassium and calcium. It’s leaner than traditional red meats, meaning it has fewer calories: around 90 calories for 100 g of skinless breast compared with 200 calories for the same amount of beef sirloin.
Duck is a red meat with all the advantages of poultry. But how do you cook the “other” red meat to vary your weekday meals?
We always think of the same protein when it comes to cooking our classics. But cooking duck meat with Chinese macaroni is equally quick, effective and high in protein. Our Chinese macaroni and duck recipe [›››] takes less than an hour to prepare and is sure to give you a plate full of vegetables, carbs and red meat to satisfy your appetite and give you energy. It’s a simple way to enjoy your favorite weeknight meal without compromising on flavor.
We all love meals that make lunches for the week. Our pulled duck chickpea chili [›››] is a high-protein alternative to the traditional recipe, since it combines a bean, known for being naturally rich in fiber and protein, and duck meat, also known for being rich in iron and protein. Plus, it’s a weekday meal idea that can be frozen. Your future self will thank you!
Cottage cheese is currently in the midst of a renaissance, and Brome Lake Ducks didn’t miss the opportunity to propose a breakfast bowl with duck bacon, cottage cheese and avocado [›››]. Enjoy fresh, colorful, feel-good ingredients without missing out on the crunchy texture of bacon! Plus, our duck bacon, exclusive to our Lake Brome boutique, contains 15% protein.
