Ingredients

  • 2 duck breast halves
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground chipotle pepper (such as Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning Blend®)
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon monosodium glutamate (such as Ac'cent®)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 5 drops hot pepper sauce
  • 8 jalapeno peppers – stemmed, seeded, and halved lengthwise, or to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) package pepper Jack cheese, sliced, or to taste
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
  • 8 thick slices bacon, or to taste
  • toothpicks

Directions

Step 1
Clean and rinse duck breasts thoroughly in cold water. Cut into 1/4-inch slices and place in a resealable plastic bag with water and salt. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours. Remove from bag and rinse again under cold running water.

Step 2
Combine duck, ground chipotle pepper, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, monosodium glutamate, garlic powder, and hot pepper sauce in a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate until well marinated, 2 to 3 hours more.

Step 3
Fill jalapenos with pepper Jack cheese and cream cheese. Top with marinated duck. Cut bacon strips in half and wrap each stuffed pepper with a bacon strip. Secure with a toothpick.

Step 4
Preheat an outdoor grill for 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and lightly oil the grate. Cook jalapeno peppers, flipping once or twice, until bacon is browned, about 15 minutes.

Cook’s Notes:

This dish is still delicious without duck for those who do not like wild game.
