I have a friend who sells cheshunt this is how easy it is with this method. First cut in half. Grab the shell with a pair of pliers ( it has to be real pliers) and pull off/pop out the nut. It is very easy to remove the outer shell when it is cut in half and cold. Put the half into boiling water for 10 to 20 seconds only, remove, and rub off the inner husk with a tea towel. The inner husk is very easy att this point. Put in jars and freeze for Christmas! Steaming them is quick,follow keef untill the cooking stage instead of boiling steam for 5mins the skin lifts and splits. Or microwave them , place in bowl clingfilm them cook for 6 mins leave to cool then peel
If you dont have a pressure cooker to make a dark stock, with the stock ingredients keef showed , firstly put into the oven and roast high for an 1hr untill darkened then place into a pot and boil this for min 1hr max 5hrs, will give you the dark stock, like a pressure cooker would, just remember to keep eye on the liquid
render the fat place into a cold pan add 3tbspn cold water and bring upto heat, then reduce heat, the water allows the fat to render out without burning. The water will evaporate leaving only the liquid fat When resting a turkey most people don't rest it long enough, when resting a turkey rest it for 50% of the total cook time of the turke. Resting the tirkey is , still the same way keef rested his duck Hope you have an awesome Christmas day love to all reading this especially Mr and Mrs keef
I loved this show so much. It was so homey such wonderful atmosphere, so cosy, two of you so happy , how I miss it. My husband has been gone for 10 years and I live alone . I love duck, my favorite bird and the stuffing sounds so wonderful. I have never seen such lean bacon, so perfect for wrapping. The stock looked so perfect. Love people like you two :) Merry Christmas
Yet another KeefCooks special recipe, love it!! I did smile at the comment here --> 02:53 (mixy, mixy, I'm NOT gonna put my hands in until I add the onions and chestnuts).... 10 seconds later, hands in the bowl, mixing without the onions and chestnuts!! Love it!!
@@Keefcooks 😆.. what is it about Christmas meats, such as duck and turkey, that is always dry? I don't know whether your duck was dry (it did look like it was a little)? Chinese restaurants tend to serve it moist, because its cooked at high heat very quickly, so you get a crispy skin, and juicy flesh.. I've given up buying turkey and ducks because I'm always disappointed with the way it turns out.. as I said few weeks ago gimme 2 nice Barnsley chops anyday!
Hey Keef. My boyfriend bought me one of your T shirts for Christmas I love it! I can now sit and drink my cuppa out of a Keef mug wearing a Keef T shirt! 😄 happy new year to you and Mrs Keef cooks x
Just so love how down to earth you two are - no faffing about with 'cheffy' crap, just proper cooking. As with others on here, bit wary of duck with all the stories of how fatty it can be - but - after watching this upload will definitely give it a whirl after the Christmas/New Year break and let you know how we get on with it. Thank you for another year of video's, they are really appreciated. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Hey Keef you know at the pinnacle of ale snobbery, there are those who say it's not real ale unless it's pressure carbonated in the bottle or cask (like a champagne)? Also, apparently in Norway if they're drinking beer it's ale, like you. But in Sweden they drink stouts as well. (Not including American style lager, every country has some people who prefer that, for some reason.)
Seasons greetings to you & Mrs KeefCooks 🙂 That looked absolutely delicious I must try that chesnuts/sausage meat recipe, Thank you for doing all these great recipes for us.👍
Merry Christmas Keef & Mrs Keef! I found a pack of cooked chestnuts this morning (best before 12-2019) at the back of a cupboard and they're now in the mincemeat for my pinwheels. Nice creamy texture. Thanks again for another good video 📷
I haven't tried cooking chestnuts before. Nevertheless I won't let that deter me from strongly suggesting you get yourself a chestnut knife, so you can peel them in a single whack. I expect your regular onion knife stockist would carry them at this time of year.
In my religion we always put the giblets in the stuffing and cook it inside the bird. Sterile stuffing is allowed but only for women and boys under 16.
Not just financial reasons, either The UK is currently facing the worst bird flu outbreak on record, with over 70 reported outbreaks in October alone. In past years, cases of bird flu tailed off in the spring, but this year has been unprecedented, with more than 230 outbreaks over the last 12 months. Gressingham uks biggest supplier of turkey geese and duck, has lost its entire flock of Christmas geese and have begun urging consumers to buy birds early and freeze. Approximately 40% of its entire turkey flock has been killed because of bird flu. Ducks - it is unknown approximately how many ducks have either died or been culled thanks to the bird flu outbreak. When buying pre cooked chestnuts, make sure you have the unsweetened variety, no need to presoak use sgraight out the packagemost supermarkets sell vacpack under £5 but worth the buy
@KeefCooks The outbreak has led to the death of 97 million birds globally (3.8 million in the UK), with significant consequences for agriculture and the environment.'
