Bongo Fury

This isn’t what I was going to do today, I did have an alternative which will have to wait - This was inspired by the recent Hill of Oaks extravaganza on the shore of Windermere, expertly organised by Di & Jamie. I could have done something on the spot which wouldn’t have disappointed BongoPlod nearly so much as the Lorne sausages & eggs I was rustling up for breakfast....


....in fact, had Muzette been a little sharper she could have secured the primary ingredient to do it “live” (or dead) so to speak


Anyway, duck with red cabbage & mashed spuds. Ok, Smash, but hey, it’s a Bongo lunch and I haven’t got all day


Don’t be confused with the ghastly red cabbage you would have been traumatised at school with as a kid, this is proper German red cabbage and quite delicious


Empty some into a cazuela with a knob of butter


Seal a couple of duck breasts in butter – I’m hoping these aren’t both from the same duck otherwise it must have lived near Sellafield


Then turn the heat down and keep them going for 30 minutes or so


Get ready to deploy the Smash....


....and tuck in – This really is brilliant, you should give it a go, you’d be quackers not to

Smash has its uses - it makes great Potato Cakes.

Hey Muzz your making my mouth water that looks absolutely delicious

now that looks good you're making me hungry

I'll make them an offer when they don't want them any more. I've got a machete.....

Looks more appertising to me than phase 17.

Looks lovely - always partial to a bit of duck (and I have to confess ours usually comes frozen from Iceland )

Red cabbage at school? What sort of school did you go to - we were lucky if ours was even green. I reckon they must have boiled the colour out of it

The best yet Muz, but one question "just how long is your dinner break"

Now that looks tasty, yes the best one yet Something we would eat

Thats better Muz





Now get the washing up done
