Benthejockey Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Shot a brace of mallard last Saturday on my daily exercise. First thing errant teenager says when I got back was "are we having duck pancakes tomorrow night then?". So we did. The little mallard wasn't fatty enough really but he tried his best for me and was bloody tasty. Made my own plum sauce and pancakes too. I was going to go for a look this evening again but the littlest boss was in a bad mood which was angering the big boss and if I'd gone put it might have ended in Chinese crispy toddler 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob85 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Looks lovely, I've never tried plum sauce with duck, any time I've duck with a sauce it was an orange sauce on the side or in the case of Chinese style there was some black bean sauce. I'm also jealous, I haven't had a single duck this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope to do similar with fowl harvested from the outskirts of my village! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benthejockey Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 @Smokersmiththe duck was liberally covered with Chinese 5 spice and salt and cooked at about 180 for a couple of hours. The pancakes were flour and hot water mixed together and kneaded until they formed a shiny ball then chopped into 18 or 19 small balls and rolled paper thin and fried quickly in a frying pan. And the plum sauce was a Jamie Oliver recipe I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The plum sauce was slightly different because I was short a few ingredients. Id probably use a smidge less sugar next time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Smokersmith Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Well ... better than from the Chinese was the verdict ... Used the 'double pancake' cooking method with a layer of sesame inbetween ... a triumph all round !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
