Duck breasts with oyster sauce and mushrooms

Ingredients

2 duck breasts

1 tbsp groundnut oil

4 shallots

2 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tbsps oyster sauce

125g (5oz) fresh mushrooms

salt & black pepper to taste

Method

This is a quick and simple Chinese-style dish full of flavour. Allow one duck breast per person.

In a large frying-pan, heat the oil and gently fry the sliced shallots for a minute.

Add the duck breasts and garlic and brown on each side, then lower the heat and add the oyster sauce and the mushrooms, wiped and sliced.

Add a little salt to the mushrooms, cover the frying-pan and cook for about 10 minutes or less if you like your duck breasts really pink inside.

Add the freshly-ground black pepper and serve hot, with the duck breasts sliced cross-ways into strips.
