Magic Duck


Ingredients:

Duck
Potatoes
Salt
Sunflower Oil
Apples
Herbs

How to Make It:

1. The Easy Way (3 serving)

Buy pre-cooked duck. Preferably packaged and seasoned in French culinary style. Its delicious! I get mine from Costco sometimes. I recomend it.
Open the package (the Costco package has 3 legs each).
Take the duck out of there and place in a pan.
Put on stove.
Heat.
Cover with lid.
You don’t need to add oil or butter as the duck is full of its own yummy juicy oils.
(Optional: Add butter or oil to taste if you want.)
Add about six tablespoons of water while heating.
This makes the duck tender and soft, and heats faster.
Cut three aples into quarters.
Add to the duck.
Salt just a bit.
Add some fresh parsley.
Heat until the apples are spreadable and the pan has filled up with a thin layer of juices from the duck and the apples.
When the meat starts to pull away from the bone it is done!
Perfect!
It should smell meaty and a little like apples.

2. The harder way: how to make the duck into “magic duck” using raw duck: coming soon!

Meanwhile: the potatoes.

Medium sized potatoes: cut in half and then slice.
Large potatoes: cut into quarters, then slice.
Pre-heat the pan with sunflower oil for about 40 seconds.
Drop the potatoes in.
Heat, stir, and flip as they golden.
Use a sharp thin knife to check when they are done.
If the knife goes in like butter and the potato almost crumbles then its ready, maybe a little too ready.
It should smell like french fries.

Assemble nicely on a pretty place.
Add herbs and serve.

Cabernet Sauvignon is a great whine with this dish.
Shiraz Cabernet is another good one.

All together this is a magical dish.
Serve with a side of your favorite cheese.
I recommend a nice Bre or Romano.
Throw in a few fresh fruits on the side like grapes, raspberries, or fresh apricots and you are set for a mouth watering, slow eating, delightfull evening of yummy bliss. Enjoy!
