Fragrant Duck Breasts with Pilau Rice

Fragrant Duck Breasts with Pilau Rice

We wouldn't normally consider Duck as it's generally out of our budget of £4 a day. But at a 50% discount at the supermarket this was a tasty and very welcome treat.
 
Ingredients:-
 
2 Duck Breasts (A crown at £3 which Sue dissembled in our case)
1 ½ tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Grated fresh Ginger
A Glug of Oyster Sauce 
Oil to fry
Salt to season
 
1 tbsp Butter / Margarine
1 tsp Cumin seeds
100g Pilau Rice
800ml Chicken Stock85g Frozen Peas
A bunch of Spring Onions, finely chopped
2 tbsp Chutney to serve.
 
Method:-
 
(1) Score the Duck skin and rub with Garam Masala, Ginger and Oyster Sauce.
(2) Chill for 30 minutes to allow the marinade to flavour the meat.
(3) Heat the oven to 200c.
(4) Gently fry the Duck breasts skin side down until the fat runs out.
(5) Transfer to a baking dish skin side up then leave to rest.
(6) Melt butter in a large pan. Add Cumin seeds and fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
(7) Transfer the Duck breasts into the oven.
(8) Stir in the Rice.
(9) Pour over the Stock and simmer for 10 minutes.
(10) Add Peas in the last 4 minutes.
(11) When the liquid has absorbed folk through and add the Spring Onions.
(12) Season to taste.
(13) Slice the Duck breasts and serve on a bed of the Rice.
 
We served ours with home made Green Tomato & Apple Chutney we made in the autumn.

Everyone should have access to good food.  No one should have to go to bed hungry.
 
This petition is a call on the UK Government to fix Universal Credit to prevent more people going hungry. We all rely on the welfare safety net being there for us in times of financial stress or hardship.  But Universal Credit is currently failing in this task. In areas where Universal Credit has been rolled out, Food Banks and other food aid providers report a surge in the numbers of people pushed into greater debt, destitution and hunger as a result of delays, errors, a lack of flexibility and adequate support. 
 
Sue and I are going to London to present this petition to No.10 Downing Street on the 7th of November 2018, by invitation of friends who probably prevented our death.
