FFwD ~ Orange Olive Salad and more

I am back cooking with the Doristas

at FFwD

after being quiet for almost two months

due to:

 a leaky ceiling

a leaky gas stove/oven

and a bad back

this week's FFwD recipe ~
orange olive salad:

I like Dorie's tip on soaking the cut onions

in cold water to rid the bitterness

paired with 20 minute honey glazed duck breast

which the Doristas made way back in November 2011!

***

and below are some catching up I managed:

 

Above: Tartine de Viande des Grisons

of course I had to substitute the air dried beef

with thin slices of Primo Prosciutto Parma

on top of toasted and buttered multi grain bread,

drizzled with olive oil 

and topped with toasted walnuts

(I drizzled on some balsamic vinegar too)

and watermelon chunks

(better with some hot mustard)

of course I ate this twice in the week!

*** 

 pan-seared duck breast with kumquats
finally managed to order a duck
from Ampang Grocers
cos only found frozen ducks everywhere I went
(except of course I did not make to the
biggest wet market near me cos
its so difficult to get a car park bay
with all the on going construction there of late)

first time ever cooked duck
(now what shall I do with the balance of the duck?)
and kumquats
and ate kumquats raw too!
read H.E.R.E. for health benefits of kumquats
