Thai Red Duck Curry Recipe with Roast Duck
How to Make Thai Roast Duck Curry
This curry is not always easy to find, and is quite
distinct from other Thai curries, particularly as a
result of its richness. It is perfect for a special
occasion, both in terms of taste and appearance.
We will make this dish when we have meat left over from
one of our ducks that we have earlier used for another
dish. Admittedly, purchasing a roast duck in Asia
- either in whole or in part - is a lot easier
than it is elsewhere. In Germany, you could substitute
roast goose, or in Scotland, why not use rare venison
slices?
