Total:
35m
Serves:
2 to 4

Step 1: You will need

  • 1 medium duck breast
  • some salt and pepper
  • 2 small fresh green chillies, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 1 2cm piece ginger root, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium lime, juiced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soft brown sugar
  • A handful of watercress
  • A handful of red lettuce
  • A handful of fresh coriander
  • A handful of fresh mint
  • Half medium a mango sliced into strips
  • 1 small fresh green chilli, chopped
  • A medium-sized frying pan
  • A spoon
  • An empty jar
  • A knife
  • A large salad bowl

Step 2: Season the duck

Start by seasoning both sides of the duck breast generously with salt and pepper

Step 3: Heat the frying pan

Next, put the duck into the frying pan and place it over a low heat.

Step 4: Slowly increase the heat

Gradually increase the heat to a moderate temperature.

You will see that the fat of the meat starts to melt. Spoon it out of the pan to avoid saturating the duck.

Step 5: Cook for 10-12 minutes

Leave the meat to cook for 10-12 minutes. It will take this long for the fat to render completely.

Step 6: Turn the duck over and leave

Once the meat has cooked, flip it over in the pan, turn off the heat, and leave it there for a further 10 minutes. In this time it will cook through. However, if you prefer your meat medium-done, maintain the heat for an extra 5 minutes.

Step 7: Prepare the dressing

While the duck heats through, prepare the dressing. Start by putting the chopped chillies, garlic and ginger into the jar. Now pour in the lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil and finally the brown sugar.

Step 8: Shake well

Close the lid of the jar tightly and then shake until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.

Step 9: Prepare the salad

Next, take the large salad bowl and add to it the watercress, red lettuce, fresh coriander, fresh mint and the sliced mango.

Step 10: Toss the ingredients together

Mix the salad together well.

Step 11: Slice the duck breast

Remove the duck from the pan, slice it into strips and add it to the salad.

Step 12: Pour over the sauce and serve

Finally, give the sauce another quick shake, pour it over the salad mixing it together a little and serve.
