Duck Kebab

Something different to do with a duck leg! These were very tasty. The original recipe is for 1 but 2 duck legs was too much for me, so I think it serves 2 better. The coriander chutney is lovely too.

Duck Kebab (from The Times)

(Serves 2)

For the coriander chutney
200g fresh coriander leaves
1 green chilli
small garlic clove
100g fresh root ginger
2 tbsp natural yoghurt
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice

For the duck kebabs
2 duck legs
1 green chilli, finely chopped
10g shallots, diced
2 tbsp breadcrumbs
5g fresh root ginger, grated
5g garlic, finely diced
5g fresh coriander, chopped
½ tsp garam masala
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tomato, deseeded and sliced
1/4 red onion, sliced
100g cucumber, julienned
juice 1/2 lemon
2 pitta breads

Put the coriander chutney ingredients in a food processor and blitz. Store the chutney in the fridge until ready to use.

Remove the meat from the duck legs and blitz it to a fine mince in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl.

Add the chilli, shallots, breadcrumbs, root ginger, garlic, coriander and garam masala to the mince and mix well. Form four patties with the mince.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the patties for 4 mins on each side until golden.

Meanwhile, combine the tomato, red onion slices, cucumber and lemon juice to make a salad. Toast the pitta breads for 2 mins. Cut each one in half and spread some coriander chutney on the inside. Finally, add the salad and duck kebabs. Serve.
