Duck Chasseur Recipe

Duck chasseur

This was my first time trying a chasseur. Very delicious. The end result may look slightly blend or mild but don’t judge a dish by its looks. Its packed full of flavor. A very pleasant surprise. No wonder this old classic is still around.

I made three main adaptations to the original recipe. I replaced chicken with duck, button mushrooms with oyster mushrooms, and included garlic to the recipe.

Adopted from Chit Chat Chomp

Ingredients

1 kg duck pieces

1 tablespoon oil

60 grams butter

2 shallots, finely diced

125 grams oyster mushrooms, sliced

1 tablespoon flour

125 ml white wine

2 tablespoons brandy

2 teaspoons tomato paste

250ml chicken stock

2 teaspoons tarragon, chopped

1 teaspoon parsley, chopped (optional)

2 cloves garlic, crushed

Method

1.      Heat oil and half of the butter in a frying pan or casserole over medium-high heat. Cook duck in batches until golden brown all over, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

2.      Add remaining butter to the pan. Add shallot, mushrooms and garlic.

3.      Cook until onion has softened, stirring frequently, about 4 to 5 minutes

4.      Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly

5.      Add all the rest of the ingredients, except parsley and duck. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce heat to low.

6.      Add duck and simmer for 1 hour or until duck is tender. Add parsley before serving
