Roast Wild Duck
Preparation / Cooking time 40 mins
Mallard, the wild ancestor of the domestic duck, is my favourite game. The plumper the Bird, the tenderer it will be, but the secret is to salt it as much in advance as you can, to tenderise the Meat. This recipe is also the best approach for Wild Mallard, arguably the nicest Game Bird. It is tenderer than Pheasant, more flavoursome than Partridge and much more substantial than Pigeon.

Glazed Mallard with Orange & Star Anise

Mallard is a wild Duck with bags of rich flavour. It is much leaner than farmed Duck, so needs to be cooked hot and fast to stop it from drying out. This recipe crisps up the skin in a pan before roasting and basting with lots of Butter. The spiced glaze adds extra flavour; this is perfect served with Egg Noodles dressed with Soy and Sesame Oil and some shredded Chard.

Duck, Pea & Cabbage Hash
Preparation time/Cooking time - less than 30 mins
“Pairing duck with peas is a great tradition. There is even a play called Duck with Peas, and a copy of the script published with beautiful engravings by Thomas Crawshall. But blessed is the kitchen that has leftover duck to make this venerable hash, the supreme leftovers dish. Quantities are really at the cook’s discretion. Any shortfall in meat can be made up with eggs, bacon or vegetables, in this instance peas, perhaps adding a few pea shoots to the mix. A great pan of hash taken to the table generally elicits a happy hum. This can be used for leftover roast meats in general. Trenchermen might need 2 eggs each.

Leftover Peking Duck Fried Rice Recipe
Preparation time/Cooking time 25 mins
Peking Duck is a staple in Beijing, China. Traditionally, the whole roast Duck is skilfully carved in front of guests. The thin shavings of the crispy skin are first eaten with Chinese steamed Pancakes, together with a variety of Condiments. The Leftover Meat is then turned into a stir-fry, sometimes served together with Lettuce Leaves to make into Lettuce Wraps, whereas the remaining carcass is then turned into a rich Duck Broth to make Soup. Different restaurants also have different offerings for the Leftover Peking Duck dishes but a very popular way to serve the Leftover Duck Meat is by making a Duck Fried Rice.
