Preparation

Remove flesh from duck and discard bones. Cut into bite sized pieces. Set aside.

Heat half of the coconut milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Add red curry paste and stir well to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes until the oil starts to come to the surface.

Cook for a few minutes until vegetables are just tender but not overcooked. Turn off the heat and add kaffir lime leaves and lastly the basil leaves. Do not cook any further as the basil will turn black. Serve with steamed rice.

Very Tasty!
I can't eat very hot food so I cut down the chillies in the red curry paste recipe by more than half. Since the paste was made from fresh ingredients it was very aromatic and rendered much more delicate flavour than store bought ones. The curry was colourful and had a well-rounded taste. Very delicious.

Garlic

Used liberally in many dishes, garlic adds flavour to everything from soups to homemade sausages. One passionate Croatian cook says it's hard to imagine a single household in all Croatia without garlic.
