CREAMY DUCK IN CLARIFIED BUTTER

Duck has a fine meaty taste and absorbs the flavours it is paired with in this recipe well. Cooking in clarified butter that is infused with a multitude of spices adds to the rich creamy texture of the duck.

SERVES 6

3 tablespoons clarified butter

2 whole star anise

1 sprig rosemary

1 (12 ounces) pack smoked duck

sausage, cut into ¼- to ½-inch

slices

½ teaspoon allspice powder

Heat 2 tablespoons clarified butter on medium heat in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Add star anise and rosemary and cook, stirring, for about 1 to 2 minutes, until the butter is fragrant. Add the duck and cook, stirring continuously, for 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle with allspice.

Serve hot with rice.
