Mango Duck Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 duck breasts
• 1 large ripe mango
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Peel and dice the mango and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper.
4. Score the duck skin in a crosshatch pattern and season with salt and pepper on both sides.
5. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and place the duck breasts skin-side down.
6. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown, then flip the duck breasts and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
7. Baste the duck breasts with the honey-soy sauce mixture and add the diced mango around the duck breasts in the skillet.
8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the duck is cooked to your liking and the mango is slightly caramelized.
9. Remove the skillet from the oven, let the duck breasts rest for a few minutes, and then slice them diagonally.
10. Arrange the sliced duck on plates and spoon the mango over the top. Serve immediately.

This mango duck recipe is a great way to elevate your dinner game with minimal effort. The combination of tender, juicy duck and sweet, tangy mango is irresistible. The honey-soy sauce glaze adds another layer of flavor that perfectly complements the rich meat.
