Paper Chef #52 - The Roundup!

Duck, tomatoes, cream and wasabi. These were this month's four ingredients and maybe not the easiest to combine but there are nevertheless five entries for The Judge, Fiona of Nice Profiteroles, to taste. Good Luck Fiona, you will not have an easy time deciding!



First we have Karen from Prospect: The Pantry who made the fantastic sounding dish
Wilted Dandelion Greens with Wasabi Cream and Duck Bacon, it looks great too!



Then we have Cathy of ShowFood Chef who also came up with an amazing dish, Pan Roasted Duck Pot Stickers in Tomato Broth with Wasabi Cream Sauce. I want some! Now!



And here we go with another gorgeous dish, Pan-Seared Duck with Tomato-Sake-Cream Sauce and Honey Wasabi Oil, created by Kizzy over at Culinary Annotations. Please send some over at once.



And to crown this round, we have Pauline's Bebek Pendang that must be a joy for the palate!



I made Duck With Wasabi panna Cotta and Tomato Twist that was quite nice to eat.

I am as ever impressed with the entries but this time maybe a little more than usual because I know how much I had to think to make a combination that worked. Thank you all, and all women actually, for your creative dishes!

Bebek pendang


This is Pauline's entry for PC #51:

Here is my entry for Paper Chef, it's called Indonesian style roast duck
with yellow rice and wasabi-cream soup. The dish is inspired by an
Indonesian dish called Bebek Pendang, which includes duck, ginger
and tomato sauce. I think the ginger and tomato sauce goes really well
together with the duck, it makes a great combination!

Bebek pendang (serving 2)

300 grams of duck meat
1 cup of tomato frito
1 cup of ginger sauce
sunflower oil
1 chili pepper, finely sliced

Heat a drop of oil in a frying pan, add
the finely sliced chili pepper. Roast the duck
in the pan for 3 minutes, add ginger sauce and
tomato frito. Stir well. Turn the heat down and
let the sauce thicken. Serve with yellow rice
and use a little coriander for garnish.

Wasabi-cream soup (serving 2)
1 small onion
3 cups of spinach leaves
a few leaves of coriander
2 cloves of garlic, pressed
1/2 cup of cream
1/2 cup of stock (e.g. chicken stock)
1 sachet of wasabi paste (add to taste)
sunflower oil for frying

Finely chop the onion, heat on medium fire
in a little oil. Add garlic, stir well. Add spinach
leaves to the frying pan, turn until all leaves are shrunken.
Put the mixture in a food processor and add coriander
leaves, stock and cream. Blend the ingredients until the
texture becomes smooth. Put the soup back into the
frying pan and heat before serving.
