Smoked duck croquettes with port, plumb and ginger reduction, toasted almonds
Duck is very versatile and is enjoyed for its rich, tender meat which is usually roasted or part roasted in the oven to help crisp up the skin. Why not give the following smoked duck croquettes recipe a try? A starter prepared by Adrian Kirby in the Cheshire Heat of the North West Young Chef Competition 2014
Ingredients
Method
Start with the reduction by bringing the port to the boil then adding sugar, fresh ginger, and plumbs then reduce by 3/4. Strain and chill.
Seal duck breasts each side then put smoking chips in the bottom of a gastro with the duck above in a separate one, cover and smoke the breasts for approximately 3 minutes (depending on size) then chill
.
When the duck has cooled dice into 2cm cubes, pane and pan fry.
To serve slice radish, segment the orange and grapefruit and toast almonds in a little peanut oil, add your port reduction then arrange.
