Duck Borneo
Ingredients
2 duck breasts
2 ripe peaches, cut into wedges
1 onion, cut in wedges
Salt
Variations & Ideas
• add chopped hazelnuts to the pan together with the vinegar for a little extra crunch.
• serve over white rice or soba noodles.
Directions
Season the duck breast on both sides with salt and Borneo. Heat a sauté pan and place the duck breast skin side down and cook for about 6 minutes on medium low heat. You want to render some of the fat and get a nice crispy and colored skin. If the fat starts to burn, reduce the heat.
Flip the duck breast and cook for 3 more minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the peach wedges to the pan, season with salt and Borneo and cook for about 5 minutes flipping them to cook both sides. Drizzle some balsamic vinegar over and cook for another minute.
Remove the pan from the heat, slice the duck breast, and plate. Or serve in the pan!

A thick, hearty broth for the autumnal, cooler days, that has become one of Israel’s most popular soups and heralded a national dish. Made from a plethora of orange-coloured vegetables including the seasonal pumpkin or squash, it is flavoured with fragrant herbs and warming spices to give a ray of sunshine in every mouthful.
My recipe for orange soup is delicious on its own, but even better with a swirl of cream, some sautéed chestnuts or toasted pumpkin seeds sprinkled on top, and always with a hunk of warm bread. This soup freezes well, but will keep fresh in the refrigerator for 5 days, if it lasts that long…
Known as the Italian macaron, the Ricciarelli is chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside, with a hint of rose water or almond essence for added flavour… this is the perfect Pesach biscuit, that can be served alongside the ubiquitous cinnamon ball with a cup of tea.
Chag Pesach Sameach!
A reimagining of hamantaschen, the hamantart is easy to make and has some fun twists, but still has the traditional poppyseed filling. A fun treat for Purim that is easy to make!
