  • Preheat the oven to 150 degrees (300 degrees Fahrenheit)

  • Remove the fat from the duck breasts and place them in a baking dish. Pour the mixture over the duck breasts and bake in the oven for 90 minutes, turning the breasts over half way through cooking.
  • While the duck is cooking prepare the salad. In a bowl combine the butter lettuce, cucumber, mango, pomegranate seeds, daikon radish and chilli.
