Like every year, the picnic attracted many people. Kitchen me chefs even prepared some grill news for picnickers. One of them is a duck appetizer cooked on Ofyr grills, which surprised with a new combination of flavors: juicy and aromatic duck skewers grilled on the grill were served with fresh salad and... crispy waffle.
Dinner on the grass, delicious smells of food in the old town, refreshing "Borjomi" water on a hot evening, and Vilnius residents showing their unique character, added extraordinary colors to the picnic. This year, 2 thousand bottles of mineral water and the same number of portions of delicious "Kitchen me" duck on skewers were distributed to picnickers at the "Borjomi picnic with character" free of charge.
If you would like to feed unexpected guests, "Kitchen me" offers an instant recipe:
Duck skewers
5 for diners
600 g "Kitchenme" marinated duck fillet with spices

Skewers
Cut the duck fillet into cubes. Thread them onto skewers. Bake the duck on the grill surface for no longer than 10 minutes. If grilling, cover the burning embers with foil folded several times. While the meat is cooking, prepare the waffles - put a crisp lettuce leaf in them and then skewer them. The sweet flavor of the waffle complements the juicy duck. Unexpected and very beautiful.
