Photo of Duck & Curry-style Sauce

A luscious deconstructed take on a duck curry. Duck breast is cooked until pink and juicy before being sliced and coated in a rich, coconut-y sauce, permeating all of the classic curry aromas of ginger, curry paste, and coriander sprinkled on top! All of this yumminess is served with plump basmati rice, to make sure not even one drop of this spectacular sauce is lost to the dishwasher!

  1. FLUFFY RICE

    Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 150ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover.

  2. CURRY SAUCE

    Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ½ the diced Onion until soft and translucent, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated Ginger and the curry paste (to taste), and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the coconut milk and 50ml of warm water, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, cook until slightly thickened, 8-10 minutes (stirring occasionally), and season.

  3. LET’S SALSA

    In a bowl, combine the remaining Onion (to taste), the sliced piquanté peppers, the lime juice (to taste), the chopped cashews, and seasoning.

  4. DUCK, DUCK, FRY!

    Pat the duck breast dry with paper towel. Using a sharp knife, score the fat by cutting slits through the surface of its skin in a broad cross-hatch pattern, without going too deep and piercing the flesh. Place the duck in a cold pan, skin-side down, without oil (the duck will render its own fat). Place over medium heat and let the duck fat render while the pan heats up. Sear until the skin is crispy, 5-8 minutes. Turn the heat up to medium-high and drain the excess duck fat from the pan. Flip the duck, and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes (for medium-rare). Remove from the pan and rest for 3 minutes before slicing and seasoning.

  5. POP GOES THE Poppadom!

    Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the Poppadom, about 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over. Keep flipping until golden and puffed up.

  6. DIVINE DUCK DINNER

    Plate up the basmati rice and side with the duck slices and the curry sauce. Sprinkle over the chopped coriander. Side with the pickled pepper salsa and the Poppadom. Amazing work, Chef!

How do I prepare Duck & Curry-style Sauce?

POP GOES THE POPPADOM!: Place a clean pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadoms one at a time, about 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over. Keep flipping until golden and puffed up. DIVINE DUCK DINNER: Plate up the basmati rice and side with the duck slices and the curry sauce. Sprinkle over the chopped coriander. Side with the pickled pepper salsa and the poppadom. Amazing work, Chef! LET’S SALSA: In a bowl, combine the remaining onion (to taste), the sliced piquanté peppers, the lime juice (to taste), the chopped cashews, and seasoning. DUCK, DUCK, FRY!: Pat the duck breast dry with paper towel. Using a sharp knife, score the fat by cutting slits through the surface of its skin in a broad cross-hatch pattern, without going too deep and piercing the flesh. Place the duck in a cold pan, skin-side down, without oil (the duck will render their own fat). Place over medium heat and let the duck fat render while the pan heats up. Sear until the skin is crispy, 5-8 minutes. Turn the heat up to medium-high and drain the excess duck fat from the pan. Flip the duck, and sear until browned, 2-4 minutes (for medium-rare). Remove from the pan and rest for 3 minutes before slicing and seasoning. FLUFFY RICE: Place the rinsed rice in a pot with 300ml of salted water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the water has been absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to steam, 8-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and cover. CURRY SAUCE: Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ½ the diced onion until soft and translucent, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated ginger and the curry paste (to taste), and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the coconut milk and 100ml of warm water, and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, cook until slightly thickened, 8-10 minutes (stirring occasionally), and season.
