Today I bring you a portuguese recipe. It’s duck rice!
It’s really delicious and always makes me go back to Christmas days. It’s good as family dish and will make your table look beautiful. You first cook the duke and then take it to the oven, same thing with the rice, so both stay crispy and juice. It’s really good!
I don’t have much to talk about it, so I’ll just leave the recipe speak for itself.
Ingredients
1 big onion or 5 small ones
1 duke
500 gr of rice
1 bay leaf
1 chorizo
a pinch of salt
Preparation:
1. Heat enough water to cover all the duck and put the onions, previously sliced and the bay leaf in it.
2. Once it as come to a boiling point add the clean and washed duck. Season it at your taste.
3. Let it cook till it’s almost done (I can’t say an exact time, it really depends on its size).
4. Transfer the drained duck to a tray and take it to the oven at 180º C till its skin is in all sides golden-brown.
5. With the stock of the duck and after taking the onions and the bay leaf out of it, cook the rice in it. 2 cups of stock =1 cup of rice
6. Drain the rice and place it in another tray with the chorizo (cut in slices) on the top and take it to the oven till its crispy in the top and the chorizo is cooked.
7. Take the rice out and serve the duck on top of it. 🙂
