Overview
Prosciutto is a staple in French charcuterie, known for its exquisite, deeply flavored cured meats. Typically made from pork, prosciutto is cured and air-dried to create a savory delicacy. When sliced thinly and paired with country-style mustard, dried fruits, and black bread, it makes a delightful lunch or an elegant addition to an autumn dinner.
This particular recipe uses moulard duck breast, offering a tasty alternative to the traditional pork version.

- Salt
- Juniper Berries
- Bay Leaf
- Coriander Seeds
- Black Peppercorns
- Garlic
About Moulard Duck
Moulard ducks, often raised for foie gras, provide a richer flavor compared to domestic pekin ducks, without the gaminess of wild mallards. The magret refers to the duck’s half breast, or lobe, with each duck yielding two magrets.

Salt and Spice Cure
Important Ratios
Precise measurement is crucial for the salt component. The spice and garlic ratios are more flexible. Weigh your duck breasts carefully to determine the correct amount of salt.
Ingredients per Pound of Duck Magret:
- 0.7 oz salt
Additional Ingredients per Magret:
- 10 juniper berries
- 1 bay leaf, crushed
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 10 black peppercorns
- 1 clove garlic
Instructions:
1. Crush the juniper berries, bay leaf, coriander, peppercorns, and garlic using a mortar and pestle.
2. Mix the crushed spices thoroughly with the salt.
3. On a large square of plastic wrap, place the magret skin side up.
4. Evenly coat with half of the spice mixture. Turn over and repeat on the flesh side.
5. Wrap tightly in plastic, seal the edges, and refrigerate for 24 hours to cure.
Air Drying
1. After curing, wipe off the spice mix (do not rinse).
2. Wrap each magret in cheesecloth to fully cover the meat.
3. Tie with twine, leaving a 6-inch tail for hanging.
4. Hang in a dry cooler at 38°F for two weeks.
5. Once cured, remove from cheesecloth, wrap in plastic, and slice thinly for serving. Freezing the magret briefly can help achieve thinner slices.
