Hoisin Style Duck

Hoisin Style whole Duck recipe

A whole Duck is clearly a budget buster for us. But this had been dropped and the packaging was split. So £2.49 with the dreaded Yellow Sticker saw me skipping home. OK perhaps not actually skipping……

We made a Plum and Ginger Chutney a few months ago which has been sat in the cupboard and made a good foundation for the Hoisin style sauce. ( http://www.eatwellonuc.org.uk/index.php/recipes/336-plum-ginger-chutney )

Obviously you can but ‘Real’ Hoisin Sauce!

The original Chutney had the following ingredients:-

1 Hand of Ginger
1Kg  of Plums
2 large cloves of Garlic
A handful of fresh Coriander, chopped
2 Red Onions, chopped
6 Birds Eye Chillies
1 bunch of fries Chives
1 tsp Turmeric
White distilled Vinegar
4 tbst Sugar
Salt
Oil

Sue added the following:-

Five Spice
Star Anise
Soy Sauce
Honey
Black Bean Sauce

Method:-

(1) In a pan heat all the sauce ingredients.
(2) Allow to cool and then pasty half of the sauce over the Duck and place in the fridge covered for a few hours.
(3) Heat the oven to 160c.
(4) Cover the Duck in foil and cook for an hour covered.
(5) Remove the foil and spoon the sauce over the Duck and cook for a further 30 to 40 minutes.
(6) Reheat the remaining sauce in a pan and add the cooking juices from the Duck.
(7) Portion and serve the Duck and point the sauce from the pan over.

Served with stir-fried vegetables, boiled Rice and fried Pak Choi this was really good and actually under budget!

Pork Cherry sauce & Tray Roasted Veg

It’s Prunus season. That’s Cherries first and then Plums for those who can’t be bothered with Latin names! Boneless Belly Pork at £2.19 didn’t look too promising in it’s wrapper. But it worked out really well!

Ingredients for the Tray Roast:-

Carrots
Red Onion
Mushrooms
Garlic
Plumbs
Cabbage
Chillies
Black Lime & 1/2 the juice of a Lemon
Oil
Salt & Pepper

Method:-

(1) Shake it all up with the Oil, Salt & Pepper
(2) Put it in a tray in the oven at 180C
(3) Watch some TV or have a glass of wine (We didn’t do either as we have no TV or wine!)
(4) Turn so that everything roasts evenly
(5) Serve!

Ingredients for the Cherry Sauce:-

Cherries
Soy Sauce
Cornflour
Juice of ½ a Lemon

Method:-

(1) Place everything excluding the Lemon Juice in a sauce pan and boil.
(2) Once the Cherries have softened take the sauce off the heat and press through a sieve.
(3) Add the Lemon juice and bring back to a simmer.

Belly Pork:-

Score with a knife, rub with Oil, Salt & Pepper and roast at 180C until the crackling is crispy. I’m pretty sure nobody needs in-depth instruction here!

We demolished ours we a few boiled Garlic Spuds for a change and the whole thing was really taste. Sorry about the very casual approach today, but this is a really easy, quick and tasty recipe you can do while you’re fighting with you printer, washing machine or children!
