Duck Again for Sue

1/2 lb carrots

1/2 table spoon of corn flower

1/2 " " " Honey

1/2 " " " Butter

2 " " " Balsamic vinegar


125 ml of vegetable stock

2 twigs of fresh rosemary

1/4 lbs of small shallots

salt and pepper

Ohhhhh and 2 duck breasts.

Cut the carrots into slices and half the shallots. Pluck the rosemary and wash and dry the duck breasts. cut some slits in the skin of the duck and rub in some salt and pepper.
Fry the duck skin side down in a pan with no extra fat for about 5 minutes and turn over for the same time. Now put the duck in a fire proof dish and put it in a pre heated oven for about 15 minutes skin side up.

While the duck is in the oven fry the shallots in the butter for about 5 minutes then add the carrots and the rosemary and fry them for a minute or so. Now add about 100 ml of stock and leave to simmer for 15 minutes.

When the duck comes out of the oven wrap it in tin foil and put it aside to rest.

Deglaze the dish from the duck with the rest of the stock, add the honey and the vinegar and simmer for 2 minutes. Thicken this gravy with the corn flower .

Serve together with a potato gratin or new spuds.

A nice Spanish Rioja red goes well with this one.

Enjoy

Michael

Yep you can use wild duck as well but then you will need to put a bit of butter in the pan to fry it as wild birds don't tend to be that fat.
