Gartmore farm duck terrine with Dundee marmalade jelly, pickled ginger and toasted Dundee cake by Adam Newth, The Tayberry Restaurant
I was set a task of re re-inventing that well known Dundee Cake. It’s usually enjoyed at break time along with a coffee. But I think it has much more potential than that, and so have given it a fresh edge at The Tayberry Restaurant by incorporating it into a rich savoury starter with Scottish duck.
- 6x large male Gartmore farm duck legs slowly cooked in duck fat (confit)
- 6 x tbs ketchup
- 150 g of duck confit fat
- 100g sultanas
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 chopped shallot
- 150g chopped and crumbled Dundee cake
Once duck has been cooking on a low heat for approx around 6 hours pick the meat off the bone and mix with all other ingredients. Then pack the duck mix into a terrine mould and chill
For the top layer of the terrine
- 4 tbs Dundee marmalade
- 250 ml orange juice
- 10ml white wine vinegar
- 4x gelatine leaves
Bring all the ingredients to the boil then add the gelatine and blend together with a hand blender. Leave to cool slightly.
For the garnish a little selection of easy to prepare things which don’t take too much effort to find:
- Pickled mushrooms use Scottish girolles if in season
- Diced stem ginger
- Asian picked ginger
- And, last but not least, thinly sliced Dundee cake toasted under a grill is the perfect thing to accompany the terrine.
