Besides Babi Guling Bebek Betutu or Bebek Tutu (Betutu is a village
in Bali) ranks as one of the indigenous Balinese dishes. This duck
is traditionally prepared on an open fire from rice straw.
You add for 6 persons:
1 duck (approx. 1.9 kg),5 garlic toes,1 small piece of ginger (2
inches),1 galangal (2 inches),12 spring onions,5 kemiri-nuts,5 red
pepperoni,Curcuma (turmeric) 1 teaspoon,terasi, 1/2 teaspoon,salt,
pepper,1 bar of lemongrass,7 (kaffir)lemonleaves coriander, 1 teaspoon
Preparation:
Clean the duck. Chop garlic, ginger and galangaroot roughly. Grind
the onions, kemirinuts, ginger and pepperoni as well as turmeric,
terasi, salt and pepper to a paste.
Rub the duck inside and outside with approximately half of the paste
(easily rub in). Fill the duck with garlic, ginger, galangaroot,
lemon grass and lemonleaves. Wrap the duck into a banana leaf and
steam it for approx. 30 minutes. Preheat the baking-oven on 180°C.
Open the banana leaf and again rub the duck with the prepared paste.
This time do not close the banana leaf completely. Put the duck
into the pre-heated baking-oven and roast it by approx. 180°
- 220°C for 45 min. Possibly it will be neccessary to open the
sheet toward the end of the time, so that the duck gets a beautiful
brown colour.
Hint:
Instead of the banana leaf which gives ,however, an additional flavour,
one can take aluminum foil as an alternative.
