Had a dig around in the freezer recently and came across 2 wigeon. Naturally the excitement set in.
Brined in a mix of water, salt, light brown sugar, whole peppercorns, orange crushed to let the juice and oil come out and some lemonade.
After 24hrs then washed off dried and poured a marinade on that I made out of maple syrup, garlic & onion granules, salt, pepper, light brown sugar and water. Brushed all over and left in the fridge for a few hours. When ready to smoke I stuffed some spring onion and orange halves in the cavity and smoked for a few hours with a mix of cherry and apple wood.
When ready let ready, then into tortillas with hoisin sauce, spring onion and cucumber
A fantastic and unexpected dinner
