DUCK WITH MANGO SALSA
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
- 1-2 red chillies
- finely diced
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp fresh mint
- chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- freshly ground green peppercorns
- flatleaf parsley
- to garnish
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.
