“Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mt. 19:19) is considered the biblical proof text (for those who need one). When interpreted through cultural spectacles, this verse means that we must love ourselves in order to love other people. But in reality the passage doesn’t even suggest such an interpretation. Jesus spoke of these words to rich young man who clearly loved himself and his possessions too much. There is only one command in the passage, and it is “love your neighbor.” Nobody, including the writers of Scripture, could have dreamed that this passage taught self-love. It took some cultural changes to reinterpret it and turn our eyes inward.

INGREDIENTS

1	lg	Duck breast
1		Diced mango
1	bn	Mint; chopped
1	bn	Coriander; chopped
		Lime juice
1		Red onion; diced
1		Chilli; finely chopped
3		Tomatoes; diced

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the duck for cooking by scoring criss-crosses on the skin side.
This allows some of the fat to be released. Place the breast skin side down
in a frying pan and cook for 4-5 minutes before turning. After 2-3 minutes
on the other side, put into a medium oven for a further 2-3 minutes.
Combine all the other ingredients in a bowl, season with salt and pepper
and add a dash of olive oil.
Check that the duck is cooked - if it's firm to the touch it will be
reasonably well-done. Remove from the oven and slice into 1cm thick pieces,
then serve with the salsa.
