Fragrant Duck Breasts with Pilau Rice

Fragrant Duck Breasts with Pilau Rice

We wouldn't normally consider Duck as it's generally out of our budget of £4 a day. But at a 50% discount at the supermarket this was a tasty and very welcome treat.
 
Ingredients:-
 
2 Duck Breasts (A crown at £3 which Sue dissembled in our case)
1 ½ tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Grated fresh Ginger
A Glug of Oyster Sauce 
Oil to fry
Salt to season
 
1 tbsp Butter / Margarine
1 tsp Cumin seeds
100g Pilau Rice
800ml Chicken Stock85g Frozen Peas
A bunch of Spring Onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp Chutney to serve.
 
Method:-
 
(1) Score the Duck skin and rub with Garam Masala, Ginger and Oyster Sauce.
(2) Chill for 30 minutes to allow the marinade to flavour the meat.
(3) Heat the oven to 200c.
(4) Gently fry the Duck breasts skin side down until the fat runs out.
(5) Transfer to a baking dish skin side up then leave to rest.
(6) Melt butter in a large pan. Add Cumin seeds and fry for 2 to 3 minutes.

(8) Stir in the Rice.

Hazelnut recipes

We are very fortunate in that we have a Hazel bush very near to home and no squirrel population.

We do miss our Squirrel friends, but we also enjoy a few foraged Hazelnuts….. The bush produced some pretty impressive nuts last year, but they are even bigger this year., the 10p coin is for scale. So here are the recipes we created last year. Expect several more strange and innovative nut recipes soon as they are just beginning to fall.

The Hazel Pasto won't be repeated here as Sue really didn't like it. You can't win them all.....
