Arroz de Pato
Layered baked duck rice with presunto, chourico and a duck-stock base.

About Arroz de Pato
Filipa Gomes presents this arroz de pato as an old-style Portuguese preparation. Duck is cooked with chouriço, presunto, vegetables, bay and Port wine, creating both the meat and its cooking stock.
Onion is sautéed in the recovered duck fat before the rice is added. The rice absorbs the duck stock, linking its flavour to the shredded meat and cured pork.
Rice, duck and presunto are layered in a baking dish, with chouriço slices across the top. A final bake gives the dish the toasted surface described in the recipe.
