Recipe for Poultry Meat Stew in an Autoclave

By poultry meat we mean chicken, duck, turkey, and goose. Standard poultry stew in an autoclave is prepared as follows. First, take the carcass, separate the meat from the bone, remove sinews, and cut into small pieces. Thoroughly mix the meat with salt (1 tbsp per 1 kg of meat), onion, and ground pepper.

Place the meat into clean jars. If it is duck or goose—the meat should be mixed with finely chopped poultry fat. If it is chicken—add water to the jars (6 tbsp per 1 L). All that remains is to seal the jars and place them in the autoclave.

Very tasty duck stew in an autoclave is easy to prepare—unlike the traditional canning method. Prepare the carcasses in advance by removing feathers and down, and removing the entrails. All the fat must be trimmed and set aside in a separate container. Divide the carcasses into small pieces and finely chop the fat. Prepare the jars with lids in advance.

Rub the meat with salt, sprinkle with previously crushed bay leaf and other spices (for example, ground pepper). After mixing the meat, fat, and spices, distribute everything into half-liter jars and seal. Next begins the preparation of duck stew in an autoclave: place the jars inside and fill with water.
