Ingredients for 4
| 4 duck | tights or duck breasts, skin on |
| 500 g | red sour cabbage |
| 1 red | onion |
| 400 g | potatoes |
| 130 g | flour |
| 1 tsp | salt |
| duck fat for potato "pancakes" (can be replaced with melted butter) | |
| black pepper and caraway seeds |
Preparation
Roasted duck
- Wash and clean the duck tights (remove any remaining feathers)
- Sprinkle generously with salt, pepper and crushed caraway seeds and let it rest for at least 30 min in a room temperature.
- Place the meat into a baking dish, cover with aluminium foil and bake in preheated oven (180 °C) for 30 min. Next, add a bit of a boiling water to baking dish and let the meet bake until it is tender (cc. another 30 min).
- At the end of the baking process remove the aluminium foil and let the duck roast until the skin is crisp (if you have a grill in the oven, use it).
For duck breast I would highly recommend using sous vide technique if possible.
Stewed cabbage
- Cut the onion in half and then slice it.
- Fry the sliced onion in a bit of oil or duck fat on a pan with a lid.
- Add cabbage, salt, pepper and whole caraway seed to taste.
- Add a bit of a boiling water, cover the pan and let the cabbage steam for 30 min. Stir occasionally.
Lokše
- Boil the potatoes with a skin on until soft, then let cool.
- Grate the potatoes on a fine cheese grater.
- Add the flour and 1 tsp of salt and form a dough.
- Sprinkle a lot of flour on your working surface and roll the dough into thin flat disk of desired size.
- Dry fry "pancakes" on a non stick pan with no oil whatsoever. Pop any bubbles that form with a knife. Traditional Lokše should have little "well fried spots" (someone may say burnt).
- Spred the duck fat on each Lokeš while still hot.
