Tea smoked duck with a spiced plum sauce : Eat Cook Explore
It’s the party season and if you are doing a party at home, kick off the party with a delicious zing with some tasty anapés. Here, I have made a very simple Tea Smoked Duck with a Spiced Plum Sauce canapé served on some Chinese soup spoons.
Smoking food at home is not as hard as you might think. I did a smoked fish recipe a while back and it took about 15 minutes. All you need is a steel wok, some fragrant tea leaves, some spices and a good lid.
Don’t be afraid of cooking with duck. This tea smoked duck recipe is for a simple but impressive canapé, just in time for your Christmas party. I used duck legs as I prefer the flavour but you can use duck breasts instead. To serve, I used slices of duck but you can shred the duck meat instead. It’s all a matter of presentation.
If you use duck breasts, you can take the skin off after smoking, cut into strips and deep fry. This will produce some very crispy duck crackling which you can use to sprinkle on top of your canapés.
The final result is a mouthful of smoky duck with a tangy spicy plum sauce and a hint of freshness with the slice of plum of top. If you don’t want to make canapés, you can assemble the ingredients into a salad instead. A very versatile recipe.

Instructions
This recipe used the Lurpak Cooking Liquid and was developed for Lurpak Cooks Range.

Malaysian Sambal Prawns and British asparagus : Eat Cook Explore
In Malaysia we love strong flavours and the Malay Sambal Tumis is one of the most versatile sauces as it can be used in so many dishes. The most common and popular use of Sambal Tumis is in Nasi Lemak, a Malaysian streetfood breakfast sold by ladies who set up stalls on pavements and street corners most mornings. Sambal ikan bilis is served with a scoopful of fragrant coconut rice, a couple of slices of cucumber, half a hard boiled egg and some peanuts, all delivered wrapped in banana leaf for mere pennies.
Using Best of British Asparagus
This is variation of the sambal recipe which we usually cook at home as part of a home cooked meal with various other dishes. Here we are using seasonal British Asparagus with some shelled and deveined prawns.
The rich umami flavour in the Sambal sauce is from the use of Belacan, the Malaysian fermented prawn paste. This can be substituted with Fish Sauce as it is not readily available in supermarkets yet.

Sainsburys provided EatCookExplore.com the main ingredients for this dish for their Best of British series.
