4 Garlic cloves, peeled

1 Half-inch piece peeled fresh

-ginger 2 ts Ground cumin

2 ts Ground coriander

2 tb Minced cilantro or parsley

Goa has developed its own cuisine and vindaloo is one of its main creations. Two important features of vindaloo are the technique of marinating meat in vinegar and the use of fiery spices. Although I have reduced the number of chiles, 4 more may be added if a hotter dish is desired. Cornish hens may be substituted for duck. Soak chiles in vinegar for 15 minutes. Add garlic and ginger and blend into a puree. Scrape mixture into a small bowl. Add cumin, coriander and cinnamon and mix thoroughly. Coat duck pieces well with spice paste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add duck pieces and brown on all sides. Add salt, water, sugar and any remaining spice puree. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until duck is tender, about 1 hour. Skim off all fat. Transfer duck to a heated platter, pour sauce over, and garnish with minced cilantro.

Submitted By STEPHEN CEIDEBURG MSG#: 3841

1 cup dry sherry

1/2 cup water

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon white pepper

1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes

1/4 teaspoon red pepper

2 ounces bottled onion juice

4 whole wild ducks

salt to taste 4 whole bay leaves

1 large onion

orange slices (optional)

Place sherry in a heavy medium saucepan; heat just until warm (do not boil). Remove from heat; ignite sherry, and let stand until flames disappear. Add next 7 ingredients; heat well.

Sprinkle ducks with salt. Place 1 bay leaf and an onion quarter in cavity of each duck; place ducks, breast side down, in a large roaster.

Pour half of hot sherry mixture over ducks; cover and bake at 350 degrees for 3 hours or until tender, basting occasionally with pan drippings.

Reheat remaining sherry mixture, and pour mixture over ducks; cool. Cover ducks, and let stand in refrigerator 1 to 2 hours or until ready to reheat and serve, if desired.

Cut ducks in half, and return to roaster. Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until hot. Place ducks on serving platter; garnish with orange slices and fresh parsley sprigs, if desired.

8 lg Scallions,

Cut into 2-inch lengths 2 md Star anise, broken into

16 sections

2 sl Gingerroot,

Half-dollar size 5 lb Duck

1 c Dark soy sauce

1 c Light soy sauce

1 c Water

3/4 c Sugar.

Honey Put the scallions, star anise and gingerroot in a heavy pot. Place the duck, breast sideup in the pot. Mix the remaining ingredients and pour over the duck. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer for about two hours or until tender, turning every half-hour. Remove duck from pan and place on a shallow dish, rub honey on duck, place duck in a 400 degree oven just until crispy...not too long. Remove and chop into small pieces. Reserve liquid and serve at the table as a sauce. Sometimes I thicken it a little but most of the time we just serve it as is.

-------------------------MAMA LEAH'S JEWISH KITCHEN------------------------- 2 c CUT UP SKIN AND FAT

FROM ANY CHICKEN,DUCK,GOOSE 3/4 c COLD WATER

IN TRIMMING THE FAT AND SKIN FROM THE POULTRY,TRY NOT TO INCLUDE BITS OF MEAT.PLACE THE CUT UP SKIN AND DICED FAT IN A HEAVY BOTTOMED SAUCE PAN,ADD THE WATER AND SIMMER VERY,VERY SLOWLY OVER LOW HEAT.WHEN ALL THE WATER HAS EVAPORATED AND PURE YELLOW FAT BEGINS TO COLLECT,POUR IT OFF AND RESERVE.T FAT IS COMPLETELY RENDERED WHEN THE SKIN FORMS CRISP,BROWN CRACKLINGS.DRAI THE CRACKLINGS ON PAPER TOWELS. ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT STRICKLY NECESSARY TO POUR OFF THE FAT AS IT COLLECTS,IT IS SAFEST TO DO SO;THEN IT WILL NOT BECOME BROWN BY THE TIME T CRACKLINGS ARE FINISHED.THE FAT SHOULD BE BRIGHT BUTTER YELLOW WITHOUT ANY HINT OF BROWN.STORE THE FAT TIGHTLY COVERED IN THE REFRIGERATOR.CRACKLINGS SHOULD BE USED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR THEY BECOME SOGGY.
