Smoked Duck Pancetta Recipe
If you’d like to try making your own charcuterie, this recipe shows how to cure and smoke duck breast for duck bacon or pancetta. This is a good make-ahead food, because both the curing and the smoking take several hours, and then you’ll have to cook the pancetta to serve it. Use it in any dishes you would use pork pancetta in.
