Duck Stuffing

  • Print
  • Email

Recipe

I love a good stuffing. This recipe uses duck legs, that are first braised with Allagash Brewing Co. Dubbel ale and dried porcini mushrooms. This could be a entrée by itself. Instead, the meat is shredded and the braising liquid is mixed with toasted artisanal bread cubes, then baked until golden brown.

Servings Prep Time

8 guests 20 minute

Cook Time

4 hours



Ingredients:-

    Braised Duck Legs Ingredients:

    • 2 cup Allagash Brewing Co. Dubbel or other Dubbel style ale
    • 1 ounce mushrooms, dried, porcini
    • 4 each duck legs, whole washed and patted dry (Chicken legs can be used if duck is not available)
    • 1 each onion, yellow, large, peeled and sliced
    • 1 each carrot, peeled and chopped
    • 1 each celery stalk, chopped
    • 1/2 each leek washed and sliced
    • 4 each garlic, cloves peeled and sliced
    • 4 sprig thyme, fresh
    • 2 each bay leaves, preferably fresh
    • 4 cup chicken stock or duck stock, preferably homemade

    Stuffing Ingredients:

    • 1 each Artisanal Bread Round (I used a Pumpkin Seed Sourdough) cubed
    • 4 tablespoon butter, unsalted
    • 1 each onion, yellow, large, peeled and diced
    • 1 each celery washed and chopped
    • 1/2 each leek washed and sliced
    • 4 each garlic, cloves peeled and minced
    • 1 bunch thyme, fresh leaves only
    • 1 bunch sage, fresh chopped fine

    Method:-

      Braised Duck Leg Directions:

      • Preheat an oven to 350°F/177°C. Heat the Allagash Dubbel (or other Belgian Style beer) in a separate sauce pan and add porcini mushrooms and let sit for 10 minutes, to re-hydrate the mushrooms.
      • Under cold water, rinse off the duck legs (check your local Asian Market for duck legs) and pat dry with paper towels. Season each with salt and pepper. Over medium heat, heat a 6-8 quart oven proof sauté or dutch oven pan for 3 minutes.
      • Cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until evenly browned.
      • Remove from pan and set aside in a bowl or on a plate. Add onion, celery, leek, garlic and thyme to the same pan, seasoning with salt and pepper; using the duck fat that has rendered from the duck legs. Keep heat at medium and stir occasionally for 6-8 minutes or onions are transparent.
      • Deglaze the pan with most of the beer (some dirt might be in the bottom of the pan, like yeast in a bottle and leave it behind) and mushrooms.
      • Add bay leaves and chicken stock, browned duck legs and any juices from the searing. Bring to a simmer, cover with lid or aluminum foil and place in center of the oven for 3-4 hours or the duck is fork tender. This may be done a few days in advance, if oven space is an issue.

      To Finish the Stuffing Directions:

      • While the duck is cooking; prepare the remaining stuffing ingredients. Cube the bread of your choice (should have about 2 pound loaf size) and place onto a sheet tray, in a single layer. Place the tray into a preheated oven set to 350°F/177°C. Toast the bread for about 20 - 25 minutes, or golden brown. This will help dry out the bread, making it absorb the duck braising liquid easier.
      • In another sauté pan over medium heat, add butter and melt. Add onions, celery, leeks and garlic and cook for 6-8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add pour it into the bread bowl. Add thyme and sage.
      • Remove the duck legs from the oven when they are done. Take the cooked and slightly cooled duck legs out of the braising liquid and remove all the meat from the bones. Shred this meat into bit size pieces and add to the bread bowl. Strain the braising liquid through a strainer, into the bowl with the bread and vegetables. Stir to combine and check moisture of the mixture. The stuffing should be moist, not wet. If needed add more stock or beer to reach this consistence. Check for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
      • Take a rectangle casserole pan, and rub the inside with butter. Add the stuffing mix, distributing it evenly and bake in 350°F/177°C oven for 30-45 minutes or golden brown on top. The stuffing is ready to be served.

      Courgette Fritters

      • Print
      • Email

      INTRODUCTION

      I know the word fritter conjures up a complex world of deep-frying and dense-eating, but these are light, simple babies - just grated courgettes, mixed with feta, herbs and spring onions, stirred up with flour and eggs and dolloped into a frying pan to make little vegetable pancakes which, unlike most fried food, are best eaten not straight out of the pan, but left to cool to room temperature. This takes any slaving over a hot stove element out of the equation: you just spoon serenely away over your pan before anyone's around.



      Ingredients:-

        Makes about 6 fritters

        • 1 courgette
        • 2 spring onions (finely chopped)
        • 60 grams feta cheese
        • 1 small bunch fresh parsley (chopped)
        • 1 small bunch fresh mint (chopped (plus extra to sprinkle over at the end))
        • 1 teaspoon dried mint
        • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
        • 40 grams plain flour
        • salt
        • pepper
        • 1 large eggs (beaten)
        • olive oil (for frying)
        • 1 lime

        Method:-

        • Coarsely grate the courgettes with either the grating blade in the processor or by hand.
        • Spread the little shards out on a tea towel and leave for about 20 minutes to get rid of any excess wetness.
        • Put the chopped spring onions in a bowl and crumble in the feta.
        • Stir in the chopped parsley and mint, along with the dried mint and paprika.
        • Add the flour and season well with salt and pepper.
        • Gradually add the beaten egg and mix thoroughly before stirring in the drained, grated courgettes. Don't be alarmed by the unflowing straggly lumpiness of this batter; it's meant to be this way.
        • Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan and drop heaped dessertspoons of the mixture into the hot oil, flattening the little cakes down with the back of the spoon as you go.
        • Cook these little patties for about 2 minutes each side until golden, and then transfer to a couple of waiting plates.
        • Chop up the limes and tumble them about the edges of the plates.
        • Sprinkle over a little more chopped mint and eat them just as they are, spritzed with lime juice as you go.

        Method:-

        • Slowly add the egg a little at a time, then add the courgettes and cumin powder. Finally add the flour and mix until just combined nicely.
        • Place in a greased 20cm baking tin and bake for around 35 mins at 160°C, use the usual cake testing methods.
        • Leave to cool on a wire rack.
        • To make the candied courgettes, mix all ingredients together in a bowl and wait for 15 minutes, drain off the majority of the liquid then place on a non stick backing sheet and leave in a low oven to dry out.
