Total Cooking Time (Including Prep): About 30 minutes

Calories per Serving: Approx 500

Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 700g duck breast (preferably skin-on), sliced
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 100g Shemin’s Thai Green or Red Curry Paste
  • 165g fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 tsp palm sugar (optional)
  • Handful of Thai basil leaves

Optional Vegetables:

  • 1 courgette, sliced
  • A handful of cherry tomatoes
  • Aubergine or green beans

To Serve:

  • Jasmine rice or sticky rice
  • Lime wedges (optional)
  • Optional garnish: Toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts

Method

  1. Cook the Duck:
    • Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the duck slices (without oil) skin side down until the fat renders and the skin becomes crispy, about 5-6 minutes. Flip the duck and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove and set aside. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of duck fat in the pan for added flavour.
  2. Make the Curry:
    • In the same pan, fry the Thai Curry Paste for about 1 minute until fragrant.
    • Add half of the coconut milk and bring it to a simmer, stirring constantly for around a minute. Then add the rest of the coconut milk.
    • Stir in the fish sauce and palm sugar.
  3. Add the Duck & Pineapple:
    • Add the duck slices, along with the pineapple chunks and any additional vegetables.
    • Let the curry simmer gently for 7-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the duck is fully cooked.
  4. Adjust the Seasoning:
    • Taste the curry and adjust seasoning by adding more fish sauce, for saltiness or sugar, for sweetness, as needed. If it’s too thick, thin it out with a little water.

Tips:

  • Control the Heat: Adjust the spiciness by adding a few sliced red chillies. You can also use less curry paste if you prefer a less spicy dish.
