About

In my family, there is a general culinary rule never to mix meat with fruit in a dish. I was brought up with this rule and never really questioned it. However, I have since spread my wings and have discovered that meat accompanied with the ‘right’ fruit is a delight. This recipe fuses two of my favorite snacks: Peking duck and mango salsa. Thank goodness rules were made to be broken!
