A creative take on the classic Portuguese dish, Arroz de Pato.
Arroz de Pato
- Salt duck legs and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Slowly cook the legs in goose fat for about 2 hours to make a confit.
- Remove the meat from the bones and chop into small pieces.
- In a pan, sauté vegetables such as carrots, shallots, garlic, and leeks. Add thyme and Portuguese chorizo.
- Stir in the chopped duck meat, then add rice and spices. Cook until done.
- Mold the rice mixture and wrap it in rice paper.
- Grill the wrapped rice package briefly before serving.
Brick Dough with Confit Duck Legs
- Prepare sheets of brick dough.
- Brush them with egg wash.
- Place some of the confit duck leg meat onto each sheet.
- Fry until crispy and golden brown.
Duck Breast
- Fry the duck breast on the carcass with skin on, with thyme, bay leaf, garlic, and butter.
- Finish in the oven until desired doneness.
- Present the breast in the pan to guests.
- Remove the breast from the carcass and fry on the skin side again to make it extra crispy.
- Slice the breast for plating.
Plating
- Arrange slices of duck breast alongside the arroz de pato and the crispy brick dough parcel.
- Add rolled up slices of the duck fillets.
- Add blood orange fillets, blood orange gel, leeks in vinaigrette, and duck bone jus.
- Serve with red wine.
