Duck Smoked Meat from Le Naked Lunch

I have to confess I am a Duck Smoked Meat addict!

Since the first time I tried it, I have been hooked! It’s like having a taste of heaven!

Gastronomie Le Naked Lunch, the genius behind this product,  used to be a bistro in Montreal. They have since closed and they now concentrate their efforts in making their renowned gourmet cans. You thought that cans where for the poors? Not at all, Gourmet cans are getting quite trendy these days and they are here to stay. They are a great way to preserve gourmet food and are a wonderful “en cas” if you have impromptu visitors. In the case of Le Naked Lunch Duck Smoked Meat, I used to go to the bistro, at least once per week to have my fix of Duck smoked meat sandwich. Unfortunately the bistro closed a little while ago, but thanks to Chef Dominique Lamontagne and his team, I can now enjoying it again, in the comfort of my home or while camping for a week-end.

The Duck Smoked Meat from Le Naked Lunch is made with the best quality duck breasts from Quebec and is a tribute to Montreal Smoked Meat. Each can contains one complete duck breast of at least 400g, which is put in brine and then spiced and confit in duck fat. A can is enough for two sandwiches.

To serve: Submerge the can in boiling water for 6 minutes. Let is stand on the counter for couple of minutes and open the can. Take the meat out and chop the meat. Set the broth aside. Put a little bit of broth on two slices or rye bread, a little bit of mustard and put the duck on it. (Dominique would say to put the prepared mustard, you know the bright yellow one, but I still prefer mine with Dijon Mustard).

The leftover broth can be used as a “seasoning” to make a wonderful braised beef.

Are you a fan of Montreal Smoked Meat? Have you ever had the Duck Smoked Meat from le Naked Lunch?

    C’est vrai que c’est super bon, mais l’original servi jadis au Naked Lunch est incomparable à la version en boîte, tu ne trouves pas ?

    It IS delicious!… Et c’est super aussi pour faire des canapés.

    Yes, nothing beats the original but the canned version has the main advantage of being portable! You can have it anywhere! /C’est vrai que l’original est difficile à battre, mais finalement j’aime beaucoup la version en conserve. C’est pratique, car je peux la faire chez-moi quand je veux, même pour les fringales de fin de soirée ou même en week-end de camping! :-)

    Le concept du smoked meat de canard est super, et ça m’a plu de l’essayer une fois… mais je dois dire que le rapport quantité-prix m’a laissée sur ma faim: 25$ pour 240g (c’est le poids de la viande une fois égouttée), c’est trop pour mon budget. J’ai deux ou trois fois plus de cuisses confites à ce prix!

    P.S.- As-tu essayé la choucroute de Naked Lunch? Elle est sublime!

    Martine, la conserve de Canard du Naked Lunch se détaille en moyenne $18,95 chez les marchands. À 25$, ton marchant a définitivement pris une plus grosse marge de profit.

    Toutes leurs conserves sont excellentes, incluant la choucroute. Essaie la soupe thaï si tu as la chance, elle est divine!

    Oui, c’est vrai, la soupe: dégustée, adorée!

    C’est moi le marchand qui vend la conserve à 24.50$. C’est le prix sur Internet avec livraison gratuite à partir de 39$. C’est plus cher mais livré chez vous en 24/48h sans prendre sa voiture !

    Merci Cédric pour la précision.
