DUCK: This is an easy recipe to cook duck breast and serve it with refreshing fruit that enhances its flavour.

BBQ DUCK BREASTS WITH PEACHES:



6 ripe peaches

1 lime plus 1 tbsp. lime juice

1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1 small red chilli, seeded and finely sliced

4 duck breasts

2 tsp. ground coriander

2 tbsp. chopped mint leaves

salt and freshly ground pepper



Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Lower peaches into boiling water for 5 seconds, then remove with slotted spoon. Cool slightly; then peel off skin. Cut each peach in half and remove stone. Slice each peach half into 8 wedges.

Peel lime, removing pith and separating the lime segments by carefully cutting each piece away from the membrane. Toss the peach slices with the lime segments, extra lime juice, olive oil, chilli and mint. Let peaches marinade for 30 minutes.

Rinse, pat dry duck breasts and trim each of extra fat and sinew. Rub them with the ground coriander.

Preheat barbeque to medium direct heat and lightly oil the grill. Cook duck breasts, skin side down first for 4 minutes; then add salt and pepper to taste. Turn and cook the other side for 4 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 150-160 degrees. Turn them back to breast-side down on the grill and cook 1-2 minutes to crisp the skin. Let stand in a warm serving plate for 10 minutes.

Slice each breast into four pieces on the diagonal and serve with the peaches.
