Method
- Using a sharp knife, trim the fat and score the skin evenly about four or five times.
- Heat the flat plate of the BBQ.
- Sprinkle the duck breasts with the Ras el Hanout and a little salt and rub into the flesh.
- When the plate is hot, place the breasts skin side down and cook for 3 – 4 minutes until the skin begins to brown.
- Turn over and cook for 10 – 12 minutes, depending on the size, until the meat is cooked to your liking. Turn over and crisp the skin for a further minute.
- Wet the leaves of the corn, and place onto the BBQ and cook through.
- When cool enough to handle, remove outer leaves and cut corn into rings.
- Allow the duck breasts to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Salad

- Mix the yoghurt, garlic, mint leaves and lemon together and set aside.
- In a bowl combine the broccoli, corn and beans.
- Season to taste and place onto a serving platter.
- Arrange the sliced duck on top.
- Drizzle with the yoghurt dressing and garnish with fresh herbs.
Chef’s tips
By wetting the leaves of the corn it will prevent it from burning.
