Duck Pizza With Hoisin And Scallions Food

HOISIN BARBECUED DUCK

Steps:

• Remove and discard, or use for other purposes, the neck, giblets and any excess fat from either end of the duck; prick the duck skin all over with a small knife, going sideways and DON'T go through to the meat and pay special attention to the fattier areas of the breasts - you want to get as much fat out as possible during the boiling time.
• Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the duck (I placed the duck in the pot, filled with water, removed the duck and then placed the pot over the burner to heat); bring the water to a boil and then carefully lower the duck into the water and push it down (wooden spoons are good here); bring the water back to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook the duck for 15 minutes.
• Place a long handled spoon into the duck cavity and lift carefully, letting the cavity water drain into the pot, then place the duck onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels; pat dry, inside and out.
• Season the duck with the salt and pepper, inside and out; bend back the wings and tie the legs together with twine.
• Grill over indirect high heat (see my comments in my description) for 45 minutes (less if you like your duck rare); brush the duck all over with 2 tablespoons of hoisin sauce and continue grilling until the skin is dark brown, about 10-15 minutes, watch carefully as the duck can brown pretty fast with the hoisin sauce on it.
• Remove from the grill and let rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
• Serve warm with remaining hoisin sauce -- we used a lot more sauce during the serving time!
• This is great with scallion cakes or you could also make a sort of 'peking duck' out of this with some mandarin pancakes, hoisin sauce and sliced green onions.

PEKING DUCK PIZZA WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS & HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic. The dough will be slightly sticky. Add a little more flour as needed.
• Cover with plastic wrap and leave to sit for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, knead the dough again, cover, and leave to proof for 2 hours in a warm spot.
• To the caramelized onion jam, add 1/2 tsp 5-spice powder and mix.
• In a food processor, add in the garlic and pulse until fine. Drizzle in the oil and continue to pulse until a smooth paste forms.
• Transfer garlic oil paste into a clean jar and store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
• Place the Baking Steel on the bottom rack of your oven.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F/260°C. (Do this about 1 hour before you plan to bake the pizzas off).
• Dust your work surface with some flour. Divide the pizza dough into 3 portions.
• Lay a piece of parchment paper and stretch out the pizza dough into a circle about 10-12" in diameter, leaving a perimeter for the crust.
• Spread 1 Tbsp garlic oil paste on the surface of the dough. Add the roast bbq duck slices, caramelized onions and green onions.
• Use a pizza paddle and place the pizza dough onto the Baking Steel and cook for 6-7 minutes, until golden brown. You can use the broiler for 2-3 minutes if you prefer a darker crust.
• Remove from oven. Garnish with extra green onions, cilantro, and red onions. Drizzle hoisin sauce on top.
• Slice the Peking Duck pizza and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining pizzas.

• Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, cook onions in olive oil over medium heat until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes. Mix in honey and continue to cook until brown and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes more.

ROTISSERIE DUCK WITH HOISIN BASTE SERVED WITH GRILLED ORANGES, SCALLIONS AND PANCAKES

Steps:

• One day before you grill the duck, set the duck on a baking rack set over a baking sheet and store in the refrigerator uncovered to dry.
• Heat grill to medium heat and set up rotisserie. Season duck with salt and pepper and skewer it onto the rotisserie rod. Place a drip pan under the duck to catch the rendered fat. Once the fat had begun to render off the duck, brush with the Hoisin Baste every 10 minutes. Cook the duck for 1 to 1 1/2 hours for medium-rare doneness. Remove from the grill and brush with more of the baste. Let the duck rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thin slices.
• Drizzle the oranges with peanut oil, Place oranges on the grill, flesh side down and grill until golden brown. Remove from the grill and cut each 1/2 into 1/4's.
• Drain scallions. Place Hoisin Baste, 2 slices of duck and scallions onto each pancake. Squeeze grilled orange over the meat, roll and eat.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan on side burners or on the grates of the grill. Add onions, garlic and ginger and cook until soft. Add remaining ingredients and season with salt. Cook until the tomatoes cook down, about 25 to 30 minutes. Use an immersion blender to puree or transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the sauce to the saucepan and cook until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
