Cooking with Jonny69: Duck Bolognese

Last week I was fortunate enough to nab a rather obscenely large duck reduced right down because it was on its date. Sunday it was roast duck, Monday night leftover roast, Tuesday night duck fried rice and last night I fancied pasta so Duck Bolognese it was! Basically it's Bolognese sauce with ground up duck meat instead of beef mince and ruddy enjoyable it was too

You will need either some tomato sauce which you can make with this here recipe or a large clove of garlic and 4 fresh tomatoes chopped up nice and fine.
If you go fresh then heat a tablespoon of olive oil or duck fat in a saucepan, add the garlic and fry for a few seconds and add the tomato. Allow to cook down for 5 minutes of so.
Add a good sized handful of chopped up leftover duck meat and allow to simmer for about 15 mins so that the duck and tomato flavours combine nicely.
Add a few pinches of fresh basil off the plant growing on the window sill and that's it.

Job done, bosh it on a plate of pasta and grate some parmesan over it and stuff in mouth
