Ingredients
  • 4 small Barbary duck breasts
  • salt
  • to taste
  • freshly ground green peppercorns
  • 4 tbsp red onion
  • finely chopped
  • 2 ripe mangoes
  • peeled and cut into 1cm (½in) dice
  • 4 tbsp lime or lemon juice

  • finely diced
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh mint
  • chopped
  • ½ tsp salt
  • freshly ground green peppercorns

Directions
  • Season the duck breasts with salt and freshly ground green peppercorns
  • then place them
  • skin-side down
  • on a heated griddle pan.
  • Turn the duck breasts.
  • Cook for a few minutes
  • skin-side up
  • then turn them again to crisp up the skin.
  • Continue this process until the duck is cooked to your taste.
  • To make the salsa
  • first scald the red onion by pouring boiling water over it and draining it off immediately (this softens the raw flavour of the onion
  • which can slightly overpower the other ingredients).
  • Mix together with the remaining salsa ingredients and allow the flavours to combine for ½ an hour.
  • Taste the salsa
  • adding a little more lime
  • sugar or salt if desired.
  • Garnish the duck breasts with parsley and serve with plenty of salsa on the side. Serve with Asian crispy noodles.
