Duck with Red Wine and Shallot Sauce.

Duck with Red Wine and Shallot Sauce

Yes that sounds like a budget breaker! But I combined a couple of meat deals the other day so we got 600G of Turkey Mince, 500g of Beef mince, a decent sized Chicken and two Duck breasts for £10. It was the two year anniversary of “Eat Well on Universal Credit” yesterday so we had a bit of a treat.

Sauce Ingredients:-

100ml of cheap Red Wine
2 Shallots, skinned and diced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
500ml of Chicken Stock
A knob of Butter
Salt & Pepper

Method:-
We like our Duck pink and we served with New Potatoes, Broccoli and Corn on the Cob. Not bad for less than £2 each!!!!

(1) Fry the Shallots and then add the Garlic until the Shallots are softened.
(2) Season with Salt & Pepper.
(3) Add the Chicken Stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
(4) Add the Red Wine and simmer for another 20 minutes.
(5) Stir in the Butter and serve.

Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

We had a pack of Portobello Mushrooms which were coming to the end of there life. So this was Sue’s take on stuffed Mushrooms.

Ingredients:-

2 Mushrooms per person
Mozzarella Cheese, cubed
2 Spring Onions, finely chopped
1 Shallot, Sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic, grated
Grated Italian style Cheese
Mixed Herbs
Margarine

Method:-

(1) Remove the stem from the Mushrooms and use a spoon to scrap out the gills.
(2) Sauté the Shallot, Garlic and Mushroom stems etc. in Margarine into softened.
(3) Place back in the cups.
(4) Sprinkle with the Spring Onions.
(5) Spread the Mozzarella over.
(6) Place in a foil lined tray and pop in the oven for 15 minutes.
(7) Sprinkle with Herbs and Italian style Cheese and place under the grill for a further 5 minutes.

We served these as a side with Allspice seasoned Pork ribs and a little home made Potato salad. For what looks like a very lite meal this was surprisingly filling.
