Red Curry Duck Wonton Napoleons Recipes

Steps:

• To prepare the Red Curry Paste:
• In a blender, combine all of the ingredients. Add a splash of water to help it blend easily. Blend until well mixed to a fine texture. Cook the paste in the oil until the paste is well cooked, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Preparation for Red Duck Curry:
• Into a large saucepan over medium heat, add cooking oil and red curry paste and stir well. Add half of the coconut milk and gently stir. Add the duck, apple eggplant, pea eggplant, tomatoes, pineapple, and lychee. Bring to a boil and cook uncovered until vegetables are tender. Add the fish sauce and sugar to desired sweetness. Remove from heat and add the chili, basil, kaffir lime leaves and serve.

Steps:

• Put the chicken, lime juice, honey, red curry paste, and cilantro into a medium bowl and mix well by hand.
• Lay out 10 wonton wrappers in a row. Put 1 heaping teaspoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each square. Working quickly, dip your fingers into the water and moisten the edges of the wonton. Fold it over the filling to form a triangle, pressing well to seal. Curl the 2 points in towards each other, moisten 1 point and press them together to form a bishop's hat. Repeat with the remaining wontons and freeze. The recipe may be made up to this point 1 week in advance.
• Pour 3 inches of the vegetable oil into a large saucepan and place over medium heat until a bread cube dropped into the oil browns within 30 seconds. When ready to cook, drop the wontons into the hot oil in batches of 6 until puffed and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove and let the excess oil drain. Garnish with chopped chives and serve with Golden plum sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Dry-fry the duck legs in an ovenproof frying pan or casserole dish on a low heat for a good 10-15 mins, turning once, until coloured all over. Remove from the pan. Add the sugar to the fat in the pan and cook until caramelised, then add the curry paste and cook for few mins until fragrant. Stir in the coconut milk and half a can of water. Simmer and stir until everything is combined, then add the fish sauce and lime leaves.
• Slip in the duck legs, cover the pan and cook in the oven for 1½ hrs until the duck is really tender. Lift the duck legs into a serving dish and remove fat from the sauce, if you like. The curry can be prepared to this stage up to 2 days ahead and left in the fridge, in which case it will be easier to remove the fat.
• Place the pan back on the heat, add the pineapple and simmer for 2 mins. Adjust the seasoning, adding more fish sauce for salt, and more sugar for sweetness. At the last moment, stir through half the chilli and half the Thai basil leaves, if using, pour over the duck, then scatter with the rest of the chilli and basil. Serve with jasmine rice
