2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

1 lime, zested and juiced

2 T. sorghum or firmly packed brown sugar

Salt and pepper

 

With a sharp knife, score the skin on each duck breast, but don’t cut through to the meat. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, lime juice and zest, sorghum, salt and pepper. Use a small brush to paint the surface of each duck breast with the sorghum mixture and let marinate for 1 hour. Prepare a very hot grill and cook the duck breast, skin-side down, for about 4 minutes (watch for flare-ups). Turn and continue grilling for 3 minutes, or until the duck breast is still pink in the center. To serve, slice and fan out on the plate.
