Brown Duck Stew With Turnips And Garlic

Ingredients

• 1 duck, cut into pieces
• 2 tbsp butter
• 4-6 young turnips, peeled and cut into equal sizes
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 cup duck or chicken stock
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 bouquet garni (parsley, chives, bay leaf)
• 1/2 head garlic, peeled

Method

1. 1 Brown the duck pieces in butter in a large stewpan. Remove duck and set aside.
2. 2 In the same pan, brown the turnips in the remaining butter. Remove and set aside.
3. 3 Add powdered sugar to the pan juices, then stir in stock. Simmer until reduced to a thin brown sauce.
4. 4 Season sauce with salt, pepper, bouquet garni, garlic, and bay leaf. Return duck to pan and simmer until half cooked.
5. 5 Add turnips to the pan. Cover and cook slowly, turning duck occasionally to avoid breaking turnips. Skim off grease.
6. 6 Remove bouquet garni and garlic. Serve hot.
