16 medium shallots, thinly sliced
8 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons ginger, grated
1/4 cup Thai red curry paste

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h30m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 4 1/2-to-5-pound duck, rinsed, dried and cut in half (neck and backbone reserved for broth)
4 sprigs thyme
3 cloves garlic, skin left on and lightly crushed

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper duck generously on both sides. Place halves, skin side down, in large saute pan (preferably seasoned cast-iron or nonstick) or 2 medium saute pans. Wedge thyme and garlic under skin. Cover pan with lid or foil; place over low heat. Braise for 1 hour (duck should crackle and sizzle gently; skin should be golden and crisp; most fat should be rendered). Turn duck; cover pan. Braise for 1 more hour, until duck bottom is well browned and meat very tender.
  • Remove duck to cutting board; cut halves in half. Reserve fat from pan. In clean saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons fat (if there is not enough, use canola oil) over medium-high heat. Place duck pieces skin side down, and saute for 3 to 5 minutes, just until skin is crisp and dark. Transfer to dish, and serve.

I used the remaining braising liquid to heat hokkein noodles in to eat with the duck. This recipe looks involved, but is so simple a kid could do it! Remember an Australian tablespoon is 4 teaspoons.

Tips for Making the Best Braised Duck with Red Curry

- Choose a duck that is plump and has a good amount of fat. This will help the duck to stay moist and flavorful during the braising process. - Score the duck skin before braising. This will help the fat to render out and the duck to crisp up. - Brown the duck in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. This will help to develop flavor and color. - Add the red curry paste, coconut milk, and other ingredients to the pot. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. - Cover the pot and braise the duck for 1-2 hours, or until the duck is tender. - Serve the braised duck with rice, noodles, or your favorite side dish. ###
