Tuesday: Slow-Cooked Duck with Vegetable Gravy

This is what I found at Costco:

Here’s the recipe:

One 3-lb duck

3 TBSP olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

2 cloves chopped garlic

2 large carrots, cut into chunks

1.5 tsp salt

3/4 tsp pepper

more salt and pepper to taste

1 cup water

Heat oil in  large skillet. Add carrots, onions, garlic 1.5 tsp salt and pepper. Cook until onions and carrots are beginning to tender. Pour into crockpot, set duck on top, and generously sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour 1 cup water into crockpot. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, then remove duck. Strain off duck fat (keep if you’d like to cook with it!):

With an immersion blender, blend the veggies until they are a puree:

Slice duck, and serve with veggie puree over it. Yum!

3 lbs ground beef

2 apples, peeled and grated
