Duck breasts

Bargain_Rzl

A few weeks back I picked up three little packets of sliced duck in the Co-op, reduced to clear. I used one straight away in a stir-fry but the others are still languishing in the freezer and I was wondering what I might do with them.

TBH the duck came out a bit tough in the stir fry and so I was thinking it might benefit from the slow cooker treatment. Any thoughts on what vegetables might go well with duck in a casserole?

hiya!
my absolute favourite way to eat duck is in wraps with hoi sin sauce,spring onion and lettuce.....tastes divine!!!!
we buy the proper chinese pancake wraps (from asda in freezer section) but have also used tortillas/fajitta wraps too.

I do duck in the slow cooker in a red wine sauce.

Duck in plum sauce, I love that. You can buy the plum sauce in a jar. Again, its stir fry the duck and veg, teaspoon or two of the plum sauce, then place it in chinesse pancakes (is that the right word?? cant think, DS2 is driving me crackers). I know you can do duck pie too, not sure how to do it, google search???

Best to slow cook/roast first - I did this the other day then cooked egg noodles, french beans, sauted chopped onion, water chestnuts and a jar of black bean sauce in a large frying pan then added the sliced roasted duck - it was lovely !!

A couple of years ago, I was served a warm duck breast salad with a quail egg. Basically a green salad, warm duck breast on top,of salad, then a soft boiled quail egg cut in half on top with a plum sauce. It was devine and I dont normally like duck:D

Dont know if your get the quail eggs reduced at our sainsburys though;)

How about having it in a thai style curry? You could do that in a slow cooker

I made a stir fry of duck (5-6 mins) cooked in sesame oil and then at the end I added some plum jam and sesame seeds and served with beetroot and cucumber chopped into match sticks with chinese noodles and soy sauce and it was just great.

Don't need to cook them, just send them along to Panda and she'll feed them raw to her kids - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=198787 :rotfl:

Hello :hello:

I have two duck breasts (reduced in sainsburys from £7.00 to £2.99) but I'm not really sure what to do with them. Does anyone hae a nice duck recipe. Im not very keen on sweet or fruity food so apart from roating them I can't really think of anything.

Thanks!

I used to do a duck recipe for the guests in the ski chalet I used to run. It's a litlte vague as my recipe no longer exists (it just became memorised!)

Heat oven to 220 degrees centigrade, pan fry duck breasts to brown them on a high heat, then transfer them to a roasting tin and cook for 10-15 mins depending on size (use little or no oil after pan frying them as they are very oily as I'm sure you know).

Serve them on a bed of wilted spinach. Then I would have a sauce made of diced red onions caremalised, then add sherry or port, red wine vinegar (which incidentally stops it being so "fruit" flavoured), then add some orange juice and some cranberries/cranberry jelly/cherries - bring to boil quickly then simmer for however long you want! Can be stored in the fridge or frozen and used at a later date.

(Sorry there's no measurement for the sauce - I just throw stuff in and it always tastes delicious! - I don't really like sweet or fruity food either, especially with savoury, but this is really yummy).

.....oh and it tastes GREAT with mustard mash or plain mash if you prefer.

....or try here - heaps of recipes for duck. I love this website! :
