Title: Duck season is almost here, Curried Duck recipe
Post by: lokidog on September 22, 2011, 08:16:58 AM: Saute onions (1 large, chopped) to tender in butter (1-2 T), add sliced apples (3-4, not soft ones like delicious), throw in diced duck and legs if desired (hey, don't waste those legs :) ), cook almost through, stir in flour (1 T for each cup of broth used) and curry powder (1-2 T or to your taste) and a little chile powder if desired, slowly stir in chicken broth (about 2 C, I like lots of sauce), simmer until thickened,. serve over rice.

I did this recipe with just legs (your buddies will usually gladly let you have all their duck legs though you might have to remove them from the carcasses yourself :chuckle: ) for a potluck and they were a hit, kind of like chicken wings. For the legs I put them in a slow cooker, just covered with water, and cooked for about three or four hours, nice and tender! Follow recipe as above.

I usually serve this with chutney as the spice warm dish combines with tangy cold chutney very well. If chutney is too expensive you can mix mincemeat (the raisiny stuff) with some peach jam, vinegar, garlic and onion powder and brown sugar. I don't really have a recipe for this.

Enjoy!

How much duck do you try to use? Good size duck or smaller(ish)?

Or 16 teal. :chuckle: The nice thing is this recipe isn't like baking bread where all the ingredient amounts have to be just right.... If you have less duck, it just means you have more fruit and veggies.

When I did the batches of legs, I had a two full gallon ziplocs of legs that the guys I was with were just going to throw out. :bash: I used one bag per batch.

Haha! You ain't kiddin'. One of the ducks I am jerkifying right now is a teal I took last year. Man. She is tiny. Makes the hooded merganser look ginormous!

Thanks Lokidawg :)

I'm just using legs though as our host is doing some kind of Asian plum sauce thingy with all of the breasts from this week's birds.
