Fruit always works well with duck.This is an elegant dish and I like to serve it with new potatoes and a selection of vegetables. Note that there can be a big dfference in the size of duck breasts, you might only need two or three to serve 4 people.

ingredients
- 4 duck breasts
- salt
- white pepper
- 3 tablespoons duck or 3 tablespoons chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons mango chutney, if there are large pieces of mango in the chutney,chop them finely
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 tablespoon brandy or 1 tablespoon armagnac
- 1 teaspoon potato flour or 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- water
- 1 mango, peeled,stoned and sliced
directions
- Make cuts in the duck breast skin and rub with salt and pepper.
- In a preheated heavy frying pan, fry the breasts on a fairly hot heat, skin side down for about 5/6 minutes until the skin has turned golden brown.
- Turn over, lower the heat and cook for several minutes more until tender and to your own liking.
- Remove the duck from the pan, cover and keep warm.
- Skim off the duck fat from the juices in the pan, there will most likely be a lot of fat.
- Add the stock to the pan, stir to deglaze, then add the butter, chutney, orange juice and the brandy.
- Stir well, mix the potato flour with some water and add to the pan to thicken the sauce.
- Slice the duck diagonally, arrange with the mango slices on warmed plates. Pour over the sauce.

I finally had the chance to make this last night. This recipe was fantastic. I made it for the B's and they loved it. EJ said, keep this recipe Marie, it's delicious! Mr B thought it was fabulous and so did Mrs B. I followed your directions exactly. I was a little bit unsure as to how long to cook it to keep it rare like they like it, but I did it bang on! Thanks Pets for a great recipe that I will be using again!Reply

this was simply wonderful! we moaned with delight at every bite= and that includes my epicurean teeager!the mango sauce was simply delicious. i used a whole duck, quartered by the butcher, and had him skin the legs, so i could cook this within the hour. i browned it all on the stovetop, then i added it to a preheated 450 oven for 20 minutes more ( i like my duck cooked, i know it's supposed to be rare, lol). we will be making this often, especially the next time we have dinner guests!Reply
