A duck with potatoes in a slow cooker is a very tasty dish that can be served on the table on any occasion. It turns out equally tasty if you add eggplant to the dish when cooking. The food is unusually tender, and the taste is amazing.
Pick your recipe
You will need
- - 500 g of duck breast (you can take a little more);
- - one kilogram of potatoes (with a young potato, the dish is tastier);
- - one medium-sized eggplant;
- - Three to four cloves of garlic (you can use dried garlic in bags, which is sold in all grocery stores);
- - salt and pepper (to taste);
- - vegetable oil.
Instruction manual
1
First of all, you need to wash the eggplant (if necessary, cut the peel), cut it into large pieces, put in a bowl, slightly salt and leave for 15-20 minutes (this is required in order for excess moisture to come out, so it is better to fry the vegetable).
2
Next, take the duck breast, separate the bones and chop the meat (the finer the chop, the quicker the dish will cook). The bones will separate quite difficult, so at this stage a lot of work is required.
3
Turn on the slow cooker, set the mode to “frying”, pour vegetable oil into a bowl and put pieces of meat. Thoroughly fry it so that it acquires a brownish tint (you need to make sure that it does not burn in any case).
4
Next, you need to peel and wash the potatoes, cut it (the size of the slices is at your discretion) and put in the multicooker bowl for the meat, add chopped garlic, salt, pepper and fry for 10 minutes, without closing the lid.
5
Wash eggplant from salt and put in a slow cooker, pour a glass of clean water into it (you can add more and less, it all depends on which dish you want to get in the end), then close the slow cooker bowl, set the "stewing" mode for 30 minutes.
At the end of time, you need to try the dish and if necessary, add salt and pepper.
6
Serve duck with potatoes and eggplant is best with sour cream and finely chopped herbs, for example, dill, parsley.
Useful advice
According to the exact same recipe, you can cook the duck not in a slow cooker, but in a pan. The dish is no worse.
