Serving this dish with a green vegetable like zucchini adds colour and takes care of your veggie requirement!

Ingredients:

  • 2 duck magrets (breasts)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ¼ cup water
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 dollop of butter
  • 4 yellow peaches or nectarines, pitted and cut into slices (8 slices per peach)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Method:

Prepare barbecue or preheat grill.

Mix honey, water and lemon juice and heat over medium flame, stirring until dissolved. This step will take a couple of minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Pour half of the honey mixture on to the duck breasts.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and add the peach slices. Pour the rest of the honey mixture over and cook for a few minutes until peaches are tender (but not mushy).

Grill duck breasts for 3 minutes on each side. Let it rest for a few minutes, and slice on a bias (45 degree angle). Plate and top with the peaches and sauce (from cooked peaches & honey mixture).
