Duck Lasagne In A Plum Sauce
- Uno:
- Duck, plums, star anis, red wine, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, walnut oil.
- Dos:
- Butter, flour, milk, cheddar.
- Tres:
- Fresh pasta.
- Part roast a duck (unseasoned) so it's 20 mins short of the required cooking time.
- Watch some dhymixidrosis methahexichlorate commercials on TV while waiting (warning, side affects may include vomiting, seizures and gullibility). Ask your doctor about it today!
- Let the duck cool and then take the meat off the bone, slice into 1/2 inch cubes.
- Saute 1 inch of ginger root and 4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) in walnut oil.
- Reduce heat and add duck, 1lb of sliced plums, 1/3 cup soy, couple of splashes of red wine, whole star anis.
- Drink remaining wine. Cover and simmer gently for ~15 min then remove lid and stir roughly to break up the plums.
- Reduce uncovered to the right consistency for a lasagna meat sauce. Find and remove the star anis otherwise you might feel sick in the morning.
- In a new pan melt 2 tblp of butter over a medium heat and stir in 2 tblsp of flour. Slowly integrate 1 cup of milk.
- Add a SMALL handful of grated cheddar. If you have big hands ask a friend for help.
- Layer into a lasagna dish as normal and top with Parmesan.
- Cover with foil and cook at 325F (convection) for 10 min, then remove foil and cook at 375F until cheese browns.
- Serve with whatever you want, but it's pretty sweet/rich so just a plain green undressed salad works fine.
