Food<br />
Wild duck pâté with clementine<br />
Serves: 8-10 Prep time: 20 mins<br />
Cooking time: 1 hr 25 mins, plus cooling<br />
• 250g butter<br />
• 5 rashers smoked<br />
streaky bacon<br />
• 135g onion<br />
• 4 cloves garlic<br />
• 1 bay leaf<br />
• 5g dried mixed herbs<br />
• 1 whole Gressingham<br />
duck leg<br />
• 2 wild duck breasts<br />
(or another duck leg)<br />
• 50ml red wine<br />
• 25ml brandy or<br />
Cointreau to give<br />
it slightly more<br />
Christmassy taste<br />
• edible gold leaf,<br />
to decorate<br />
1. In a thick bottomed saucepan, place your chopped<br />
onions, cubed butter, chopped bacon, garlic, bay leaf<br />
and mixed herbs. Cook this on a medium heat for<br />
about 20 minutes, the butter should be simmering<br />
and the bacon cooked all the way through.<br />
2. Add your duck, bones and all, and the wine. Cover<br />
with lid or greaseproof paper and pop into an oven at<br />
150°C for another hour until it is falling off the bone.<br />
3. Next add the Cointreau or brandy. The<br />
Cointreau gives it a slightly sweet citrussy<br />
tang which works well with the duck.<br />
4. Bring to the boil, then turn off the heat<br />
and leave to get to room temperature.<br />
5. Remove the duck bones and whizz the meat with<br />
a stick blender (or counter blender) until smooth.<br />
Pour into a terrine, and leave to set in the fridge<br />
overnight. The next morning cover and freeze or use.<br />
6. To serve: When you are ready, toast 6-8 rounds of<br />
stale bread, then cut out with a cutter. Spread the pate<br />
on the toast and garnish with a sprig of thyme, and<br />
a clementine segment for colour. If you prefer you<br />
can use sliced baguette for a more rustic look. <br />
