I'm sure there was a recipe for this on here a little while ago but I cannot find it - anyone know where it is lurking? Or have a decent recipe?

Cheers

OK here goes....again hehe

Take one raw duck.
Remove all packaging including the bag inside. smile


Stage 1) Removing excess fats.

Place in a large saucepan, we use a large oval Le Creuset.

Cover duck with hot water, add a couple of star anise, slug of soy, and 1" piece of ginger (skin on) roughly chopped.

Place on heat and bring to the boil, once boiled turn down heat to a simmer duck for about 3 minute, roll the duck over and simmer topside for 3 minutes.

Strain duck completely and when it's cooled a little, pat dry all over.

Stage 2) Marinade

Mix a in a ramekin, a couple of tablespoons of soy and a tablespoon of sugar.

Stage 3

Place Duck on a baking try and brush over marinade, roast duck at 180 for 1 & 3/4 hours "ish" (depending on size). Cut off skin into strips and shred meat off the bone.

Serve with the obligatory cue, spring onions, pancakes, and hoisin or/& plum sauce.

Enjoy

HTH.

Go to a chinese supermarket for your pancakes. We buy a pack of 100 for £3.80. They are supplied frozen and in packs of 10, so nice and easy to pull out what you need when you need it.

Have you done the evil then? hehe

Been cooking duck in this way since the mid 70's. Must be into many hundred's now.

The cooking time can vary slightly, depending on how big the old bird is.

Oh and Shaw T sorry Mate, fully booked on this occasion. hehe

Oooooo yeah I would take a photo for the 'pics of your dinner' thread but all i have left is a carcass and that doesnt look very tasty. Maybe I should take a picture of my belly instead.

Well, I had the enormous pleasure and privilege of sampling Al's duck first hand prepared by the "master" bow Sat eve and it is as good as it gets, superb. And to top it off his lovely wife Miggy bought some Epoisses for me to try after reading my cheese thread on here. It were lurvely.

After the other half and Al went fishing Saturday we now have some beautiful sea bass in the freezer and skate wings for dinner tonight.

Many many thanks to Al and Miggy for a perfect weekend.
