THAI RED DUCK CURRY

Serves: 4

Ingredients: 2 duck breasts, freshly ground black pepper, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp clear honey, 200g Thai fragrant rice, 400ml boiling water, 1 tsp Bart Garlic Paste, 1 tsp Bart Chilli Paste, 3 tsp Bart Red Thai Curry Paste, 400ml coconut milk, 150ml water, 3tsp fish sauce, 3 tsp Bart Ginger Paste, 2 tbsp oil, 1 red pepper, deseeded & sliced, 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 5cm sticks, 100 g mangetout, 100g cherry tomatoes, 1 bunch spring onions (reserve and shred 2 for garnish), cut remainder into diamonds, freshly chopped coriander.

Using a sharp knife, score the fat on the duck breasts with parallel lines. Place in a shallow dish and season with pepper. Pour over the soy sauce and honey.

Heat a heavy based frying pan or griddle pan and cook the duck breasts skin side down for approximately 4 minutes then turn over and cook for a further 4 minutes. The fat on the duck will look blackened but this will not affect the flavour of the duck. Remove from the pan and leave to stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Place the rice in a medium size saucepan and pour over the boiling water, return to the boil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat, cover and cook gently for 7-8 minutes then turn off and leave to stand for 2 minutes.

To make the Thai curry, place the Bart Garlic Paste, Bart Chilli Paste, Bart Red Thai Curry Paste, coconut milk, water, fish sauce and Bart Ginger Paste in a pan and cook slowly for approximately 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and cook the carrots until they start to soften. Add the peppers, mangetout and spring onions and stir fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the slices of duck and continue to cook for another minute. Stir in the tomatoes and coriander.

Divide the rice between 4 bowls, top with the duck stir fry and pour over the curry sauce. Garnish with shredded spring onions.
