Ingredients:

duck breast, skin scored

Juice of 6 tangerines

2 tablespoons Mascarpone

Salt and pepper

¼ to ½ cup of dried cranberries

Equipment:

oven

frying pan

aluminum foil

sauce pan

blender

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Preheat oven at 350. In an ovenproof skillet heat a shadow of oil on high heat. Generously salt and pepper both sides of the duck breast. When the skillet is hot, add the duck skin side down. Cook until the skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes, turn to the other side and cook for 3 minutes. Turn again, skin side up, discard all of the fat from the pan and place in the hot oven. Cook for another 10 to 15 minutes.
  2. Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile in a separate small sauce pan place the dried cranberries and the tangerine juice. Cook over medium heat until the cranberries have softened and the juice is reduced. Lower the heat and add the mascarpone. When the mascarpone is melted and the juice starts to thickens, remove from the heat. With an immersion hand held mixer, puree the mascarpone, tangerine-cranberries sauce until nice and smooth. Add less than a tablespoon of the juices from the duck. Mix well. Return the pan to the heat and warm for a minute or so.
  4. Spread the sauce on the bottom of the plate and serve the duck sliced over it.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
