Lime and Coriander Duck Breasts

Lime and Coriander Duck Breasts recipe, eat well on universal credit

Sounds a bit posh? Well there are some interesting changes in food prices at the moment. There was a ‘More Card’ offer at Morrisons last week. So 2 Duck Breasts were £2, whereas 2 Chicken Breasts were £5.29! We used to be able to buy 2 whole Chickens for less than a fiver….. So Duck it was and not only was it in budget, it was very tasty.

Ingredients:-

2 Duck Breasts
A Bunch of Coriander, chopped. Reserve some to garnish
4 Bay Leaves, blitzed
The Zest of a lime plus its juice
1 Red Chilli, chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
1 Tbsp of Soy Sauce (Gluten free for us)
½ Tsp of Caster Sugar
Lime wedges to garnish
Spring Onions, chopped, to garnish
Oil to fry
Salt & Pepper to season

Method:-

(1) Combine the Coriander, Bay Leaves, Chilli, Garlic, Soy Sauce, Caster Sugar and the Zest of the Lime in a bowl.
(2) Score the Duck skin and coat in the marinade.
(3) Season with Salt & Pepper and place in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours covered.
(4) All a little Oil to a frying pan over a medium heat.
(5) Scrap off the excess marinade and return to the bowl.
(6) Add the Duck to the pan and sear on both sides for 2 minutes.
(7) Remove and keep warm.
(8) Add the remaining marinade to the pan with a little water if needed.
(9) Bring to a simmer and then return the Duck Breasts.
(10) Stir to coat the Duck in the marinade.

We served ours over Saffron Rice with a side of Pak Choi, garnished with Spring Onions, chopped Coriander and Lime Wedges.

A++ Superior Stuffing Balls

OK so these Stuffing Balls might be a bit conceited, they can’t help it I guess….. There are some recipes and sides which Sue continues to revisit and improve, these are usually better replacements for their Gluten containing counterparts. Stuffing balls are on the list.

When we had our Seafood Fest a couple of nights ago we soaked too many Chickpeas so in the food processor they went!

Ingredients:-

3 Sliced of Gluten free bread, wuzzed up
1 Cup (Mug) of Chickpeas, soaked, boiled and drained
1 Onion, finely diced
The Zest of a Lemon
Margarine
1 Egg
Dried Parsley
Dried Sage
Dried Rosemary
Dried Thyme
Salt & Petter

Method:-

(1) Sautee the Onions in a little Margarine.
(2) Add the dried Herbs.
(3) Simmer for 10 minutes
(3) Wuzz the Chickpeas and Bread together.
(4) Mix the Onions, Lemon Zest in with the Bread crumbs and Chickpeas in a mixing bowl.
(5) Season with Salt & Pepper and mix well.
(6) Allow to cool and then mix in the Egg.
(7) Form into balls and pop in the oven with your roast spuds etc.
(8) After 10 minutes brush with the remaining Margarine from the pan and cook for a further 10 minutes to brown.

This made quite a large batch of Stuffing Balls some of which we had with our roast Chicken dinner. The remaining ones are in the fridge, but they won’t last long as they are really good cold…..
