Ingredients

  • 2 mallard breasts
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 white onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 fajita spice packet
  • 4 large tortilla wraps

Optional extras

  • Grated cheese
  • Sweetcorn
  • Cucumber
  • Lettuce

Step by step

1 First, pull the mallard skin off the breast and discard as it can be a bit chewy if it’s not cooked right.

2 Slice the duck into strips 1cm thick. Slice the peppers and onions the same way and cut the garlic into tiny chunks. You could even grate the garlic.

3 Throw everything into a hot pan and fry, super-hot, for 3 minutes. Once you start to see some charring, sprinkle the fajita seasoning over the top and cook for around 6 to 8 minutes.

4 Lay out the wraps on the plate and divide up the cooked mixture. Add any additional toppings you like, roll it up and enjoy straight away.

Makes 4

Leon Challis-Davies of Eat Wild says: “This recipe is great because you can add your choice of toppings. My kids love adding grated cheese, sweetcorn and cucumber – but the lettuce is a step too far!”
