I have noticed that duck is popping up on a few menus lately. Alsatian restaurant Gugelhof is serving up a winter treat of duck and red cabbage and Oderquelle well know for it’s sturdy German food has duck with Spätzle on the menu – two of my favourite dishes that have a real winter feel to them.

I love duck and it is easily available from a local supermarket. It is also an easy dish to prepare and is suited to a lot of different ingredients. This recipe is a lighter way to enjoy the meat. The mango adds a lovely sweet touch and the dressing gives the dish that added spice. I also coat the duck breast in Hoisin sauce to give it that extra crispy and tasty skin.


Ingredients: serves 2

1 duck breast

Hoisin sauce

2 large handfuls of fresh watercress

Large bunch of fresh coriander

1 red onion (peeled and thinly sliced)

1 mango (peeled and roughly chopped into small chunks)

7 cherry tomatoes (halved)

Olive oil

Ground black pepper

For the dressing:

4 tbpsn dark soy sauce

1 tbspn paprika

1 tbspn size fresh ginger (grated)

Juice of 1 lime

1 tbspn sesame oil

———————————————————

Heat 1 tbpsn olive oil in a frying pan. Lightly spread some hoisin sauce on each side of the duck meat and then place in the pan, skin side down. Cook for around 5-6 minutes and then cook on the other side for a further 3 minutes.

For the dressing; mix everything together and put to one side.

Plate up the watercress and coriander. Mix in the onions, tomatoes and mango and give everything a good mix.

Slice the duck into thick chunks and place on top of the salad. Pour over the dressing and season with some black pepper.
