I have been at it with the plantain recipes again. Blame another successful Brixton market shopping trip. So folks, meet my West African inspired slow cooked duck, sweet potato and plantain curry.

Why You are Going to Loooove This West African Slow Cooker Duck and Plantain Curry

Plantain curry? Duck? Sweet potatoes? Aromatic spices? This curry has all my favourite things in one big melting pot. Seriously, think spice hit from the ginger, cardamom and curry, rich flavour from the duck and coconut milk and Sierra Leonean sweetness from the sweet potato and plantain. And after only a little bit of work at the start, you simply throw everything into the slow cooker set it to slow cook and 4 hrs later you plate yourself a fragrant bowl of West African Slow Cooker Duck and Plantain Curry. Excuse me whilst I run off to have another spoonful.

Tips for Making West African Slow Cooker Duck and Plantain Curry

Now a word or two about this scrummy West African Slow Cooker Duck and Plantain Curry.

  1. Brown the meat and fry the onions before cooking. Although this step is not necessary it really does lock in that extra bit of flavour and makes all the difference.
  2. Make it the day before you want to eat it and let the flavours meld overnight. It tastes sooooooooooooo much better the next day.
