I saw a recipe for a duck curry in a local newspaper recently and forgot to keep it. I thought I would give it a bash anyway, although I doubt if this recipe is anything like the one I saw. I just used my standard Thai green curry formula and it worked a treat. I had a hankering for duck the day I made this and I tend not to do things by halves so I had duck two ways. I got a pre-made Chinese duck with wraps and hoisin sauce for starters. I really should have made it myself because it was pretty gross. Maybe I’ll try and do that soon and post the recipe . This is not the most appealing looking curry but it tastes superb.
