Recipe for duck

[jack daniels]

Can someone give me a recipe for duck - i've got a whole one but I don't want to do it with orange, cherries or in pancakes.
TIA

What about in plum sauce? Yummy

[zzxxee]

nice in a stir fry

[jack daniels]

wow that was quick, thanks another-view.
not had it in plum sauce but that's veering towards the pancake flavour which I want to avoid.
any other ideas?

Hi zzxxee
would you cook the whole duck first & then use the meat, or take it off the bone?
Thanks

You can braise it. Joint it up and fry it off to get some of the fat out from under the skin. Add to the pan some sliced spring onions, garlic, ginger and chopped red chilli, a tablespoon of dark brown sugar and allow to caramelise a bit. Pour over some chicken stock (fresh for preference, cube if you must), some soy sauce and chuck in a star anise or two. Bring to the boil, turn down to a simmer, lid on, braise til tender. Cool and leave overnight if you want to, to allow the fat to rise to the surface for removal and for flavours to meld together. Serve with noodles and wilted greens, sprinkled with sesame oil. This works really well with the leg meat, then you can use the breast for something else. If you want to use the whole thing, just add the breastmeat 10 - 15 minutes after the legs.

Thanks fluffy! that sounds nice too.
Been off AB for a while - discovered Facebook!
Been on holiday to Goa/India for 2 weeks and ended up quite ill just before we came back & after! only just recovered after another 2 weeks! I've never felt so ill! played havoc with my blood test results and had the usual vomitting/the runs. I've lost a stone in 2 weeks.
My son's had swine flu
and my in-laws who stayed longer have got Chikungunya - they flu back tomorrow.
Safe to say we don't want to go back!
Thanks again everyone & take care fluffy ( how are things with you?)
