Best 3 Duck With Olives And Mushrooms Spanish Recipes

DUCK WITH OLIVES AND MUSHROOMS (SPANISH)

Steps:

• Assemble and prepare all ingredients.
• Mix together the seasonings and sprinkle on duck. (You may start baking the duck right away, but it will taste better, of course, if you let it marinate in the spices for an hour or two in the fridge first.)
• In a 6-quart casserole dish, arrange the duck pieces with skin side up. Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees F. for 90 minutes. Drain off excess fat.
• In saucepan, melt butter, add carrots, celery, and onion; cook until onion is translucent.
• Add diced tomatoes and bay leaf to vegetables to cook, covered, for 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
• Add olives and mushrooms to casserole, then contents of the saucepan.
• (At this point you may stop, refrigerate, and continue later if you want to have it ready just as guests arrive. Otherwise, continue.).
• Bake, covered, at 325 degrees F. for 30 minutes.

DUCK WITH OLIVES IN SHERRY SAUCE (PATO A LA SEVILLANA)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Prick the duck all over the skin with a two-pronged fork. Insert the onion slices and garlic cloves inside the duck. Truss the duck. Place it breast side up in a shallow baking or roasting pan and arrange the neck, if available, around it.
• Place the duck in the oven and bake one hour.
• Meanwhile, put the olives in a small saucepan and half of the white wine. Let simmer five minutes. Drain.
• Heat the oil in a shallow ovenproof casserole. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook, stirring, until onion is wilted. Add the sherry, one-half cup chicken broth, carrots, parsley, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns and salt. Set aside.
• When the duck has baked for one hour, remove it from the oven.
• Transfer the duck to a flat surface and cut it into quarters.
• Pour the fat from the roasting pan. Add the remaining white wine, cooking over moderate heat and stirring to dissolve the juices that cling to the bottom and sides of the pan. Pour the pan liquid into the casserole containing the vegetable mixture. Let simmer five minutes.
• Arrange the duck pieces skin-side-up over the vegetables, spooning some of the sauce over the pieces. Return to the oven and bake one hour.
• Transfer the duck pieces to a serving dish.
• Place a sieve inside a saucepan. Skim off any more fat from the duck. Pour and scrape the vegetables and nonfat pan juices into the sieve and strain. Press the solids with the back of a heavy spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids. Add three or four additional tablespoons of chicken broth if desired and add the olives. Heat the sauce and pour it over the duck.
