this is delicious...sorry I can't really provide any EXACT amounts or cooking times, cause i just make it up as it comes when i do it. you just gotta try and see while doing it, if it's too liquid and add as much spices as you like. when you taste or smell the spices separately in advance, you can figure out if you like them to come out a lot or rather not that much.








CANARD CURRY





2 breasts of canard (around 20 oz)


1 lb. lychee (can is good)


1 eggplant


2 red bell pepper


1 onion


1 glass/can bamboo sprouts


1 can coconut milk or cream


fresh cilantro green


basil leaves (if available, use thai basil)


fresh garlic


a little ginger and ground cumin


olive oil


AND: red curry - you can mix it yourself or buy ready powder or paste, but make sure that it contains the following: chili powder, coriander seed, cumin, galangal, kaffir lime peel or leaf, lemon grass, garlic, onion, black pepper, mace





1. squeeze the garlic and the ginger (or cut very fine) and mix it with cumin, oil and red curry


2. clean the canard from feather leftovers (of course), carve the skin and marinate it for at least two hours


3. heat up the oven to 400掳


4. cut all other ingredients into your most favourite size and shape, except: do not cut the lychees and cut the herbs as fine as possible


5. sear the canard (fry with high temperature) in a pan (on the stove) with some olive oil for a few minnutes on each side, until it gets a golden brown colour, collect the canard fat


6. bake the canard in the heated oven after searing for another 10 minutes, collect the canard fat


7. after taking the canard out of the oven, let it sit for another 10 minutes before you cut it in slices


8. fry the veggies (eggplant, bell pepper, onion, bamboo sprouts) with olive oil for a few minutes, they should still be firm


9. add the coconut milk, the herbs and the canard and cook for 5 minutes


10. add the lychee and cook another 2 minutes





%26gt; serve with rice





_______________________





dessert: caramelized ';any fruit'; (pineapple, cherries, oranges, strawberries, peach work good)





you need sugar, butter, some juice, rum, amaretto and the fruit





put sugar and butter (approximately same amount) in a pan (not coated), stir and let the sugar melt and get brown colour - be careful! as soon as the sugar becomes a little brown, it tends to burn very fast and turn dark brown.


add the juice (orange is best, but if you have the same juice as fruit, take it) and the amaretto and try to get a thick sauce (that is the most difficult part...practice makes perfect). add the fruit. warm up the rum in a laddle (2 or 3 measures), light it and pour it over the fruit and sauce (if it is a little dark, you can see the blue flame...don't worry it will stop burning after a few seconds)





%26gt;serve with pancakes, angel cake or cookies and, if you like, ice cream
Try tzatziki (greek): yoghurt with sliced cucumber and moshed garlic.
sure: call the local pizza place


re: I like pizza and that is what I do
One of my fav foods is... on a warm day pick a ripe tomato from the vine and take a big bite...jucy and sweet and deeply flavourfull satisfying and full of vit c yummmmm
A summertime favorite. Simple and refreshing.

Basically no seeds or funny tasting middle,put no hole all the way through the apple.


Wash it out, then add cinnamon and uncooked oatmeal in the little hole.
