SMOKEY DUCK AND SWEET POTATO SOUP
After my husband came home with some wild duck breasts I was left trying to figure out how on earth I was going to cook it. I was in the mood for soup and sweet potatoes so I rolled it all into one. My husband loved it and my oldest went back in for a second helping. I added a bit more hot sauce to mine because I love my food with a good kick to it but my husband liked it as is. I made extra rices so everyone (but me) served their soup over extra rice. If you use store bought duck your breasts would be larger then wild game that I had so you would have to adjust the amount. You could also use this recipe with any meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc) and I think it would taste just as good. I would stick to 1-2 pounds of meat though depending on how meaty you want your stew and how many you are feeding.

Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients for the marinade. Toss the duck breasts with the marinade (It will be more of a paste) and allow to marinade several hours or overnight.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Remove breasts from the marinade, use fingers to wipe off excess, and add meat to the pot (discard the leftover marinade.) Sear meat well on both sides, a few minutes for side. Meat should be well browned. Be sure not to crowd the pan or the meat will not brown correctly.
- Transfer the meat to a plate and set aside.
- Toss the onions, celery, and carrots into the pot and cook until softened and the onions are turning translucent. Add the tomato paste and continue to cook 3 to 5 minutes to toast the paste.
- Add in the cumin, paprika, bay leaves, cinnamon, and thyme. Cook 2-3 minutes. Toss in the garlic, ginger, and chili and cook until fragrant 30 seconds to a minute.
- Pour in the white wine and allow to simmer a couple minutes. Dump in the chicken broth, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Add the sweet potatoes and cover, bring to a boil.
- When the soup bowls reduce to a hard simmer (gentle boil) and cook until the sweet potatoes are tender. 20 -25 minutes depending on how tender you like your veggies.
- Add the frozen peas and cook until heated through, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile cut the duck into bite sized pieces.
- Add the duck and any liquid that gathered in the plate they were sitting in to the pot. Dump in the rice, cover, and allow to cook 5-10 minutes more to finish cooking the duck and heating the rice.
- Remove the bay leaves before serving. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper to suit your taste. Can be served over extra rice if desired. Add sriracha sauce (or other hot sauce) if you like more heat.
CORIANDER BREAST OF DUCK WITH SWEET POTATO SAUCE
Steps:
- Split each poached parsnip in 1/2 lengthwise and rub with a small amount of grapeseed oil. Rub the 8 sweet potatoes wedges with grapeseed oil. Season the parsnip and potato with salt and pepper. Bake on a sheet tray in a pre-heated 400 degree oven until browned and cooked through (approximately 15 minutes). Heat a large, nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Season each duck breast with salt and pepper. Press one side of the duck breast into the coriander seeds. Use a squeeze bottle to drizzle a thin line of grapeseed oil over the coriander on each duck breast. Add the duck breasts, seed side down to the hot saute pan. Saute until the coriander browns. Turn the duck breasts over and set the pan off the flame for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the breasts and allow them to rest 2 to 4 minutes. To plate, set a piece of parsnip and wedge of sweet potato on each plate. Slice each duck breast into 1/4-inch slices and arrange against the vegetables. Spoon sauce onto each plate and garnish with pea shoots.
- Juice sweet potatoes and allow the juice to stand for 4 hours. This will allow much of the potato starch in the juice to settle. Pour the juice through a fine mesh strainer being careful to leave the settled starch behind. Place over a medium flame and reduce to approximately 1 1/2 to 2 cups, or until the sauce naturally thickens. Remove from the fire and stir in the ginger and Thai chile pepper. Stir until the sauce tastes spicy enough and strain immediately. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Tips:
- To enhance the smoky flavor of the duck, consider using smoked duck breast or duck confit.
- For a richer flavor, roast the sweet potatoes before adding them to the soup.
- To create a smooth and creamy texture, blend a portion of the soup until velvety.
- Experiment with different types of duck stock or broth to create a unique flavor profile.
- Feel free to adjust the vegetable proportions based on your preferences.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs like thyme or chives for an extra touch of flavor.
- Serve the soup with crusty bread or crackers for a satisfying meal.
