Mauritian Duck - My Adaption

Recipe submitted by Scarlet Devil

Pin It

This is adapted from a recipe I saw on the television. Although I liked the sauce it was too spicy for my family, so I made some adjustments and mellowed it down for them to enjoy. This version is hopefully a little more family friendly.

Serves 4

Ingredients

1 whole duck, cut into pieces
Vegetable oil
1 tablespoon crushed ginger
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon crushed chilli
3 heaped teaspoons curry powder mixed with water to make a runny paste
1 medium onion, sliced
¼ cup fresh coriander
3 large tomatoes
1 tablespoon cornflour
270ml can coconut cream

Method

Combine ginger, garlic and chilli.
In a large saucepan, heat oil and brown duck pieces on both sides.
Remove duck from the pan and add onion until light brown.
Add ginger, garlic and chilli paste and stir one minute.
Add curry paste and stir another 2 minutes.
Add a cup of water, stir, then add duck back into the pan.
Add enough water to come ¾ up the duck then cover and simmer 45 minutes.
Add chopped tomato and simmer a further 5 minutes.
Combine cornflour with a little cold water to make a paste and add to the duck together with coconut cream.
Simmer a further 5 minutes then add coriander before serving with rice.

Notes & Tips

Duck is usually readily available in Woolworths stores these days. Alternatively you can use fresh pieces of ginger, garlic and chilli and crush in a mortar and pestle. Coconut cream may not be Mauritian, yoghurt or sour cream could also be used. I had enough sauce left to freeze that could be used another time for any sort of basic curry.

this seems delicious .. I like the flavour of curry with coconut milk ..ymmy yummy.. very tasty .. I posted one recipe that uses curry and coconut milk but with pasta, it's also spicy, but as i mentioned there, it depends on how much spicy the curry powder that ur using ..
