<\/h4>\nSlow Cooked Mallard from Wild and Game …with Fruit Jelly<\/p>\n
Duck is a wonderful meat but sometimes a large bird can be a little too much for an intimate dinner \u00e0 deux. Mallards are a small variety and one, with side dishes, is perfect for two discerning diners. The mallards can be found at Wild and Game along with all kinds of free-range quality meat. Keep an eye out for seasonal game and try something new with the changing seasons.<\/p>\n
<\/h4>\nThis is a simple recipe made in a slow cooker.<\/p>\n

<\/h4>\nPreheat the slow cooker to High.<\/p>\n
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and fry the onion and garlic till just golden. Remove and set aside.<\/p>\n
In the same pan melt the butter and brown the duck on all sides.<\/p>\n
Add the onion\/garlic mix and the mallard to the heated slow cooker.<\/p>\n
Pour over the stock and jelly, and season.<\/p>\n

Remove the duck and add the balsamic vinegar to the sauce; thicken the sauce with a little cornflour if desired.<\/p>\n
