duck

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than duck.

chorizo

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey sausage offers a healthier option while smoked sausage is more budget-friendly.

Put duck legs, bacon, chorizo, leeks, celery, onions, garlic, peppers, and bay leaves in a pan with water.

Boil for 40 to 45 minutes until the duck is tender and falling apart.

Remove the duck and chorizo from the pan, but do not discard the remaining water; this will be used as stock.

Sift the remaining water to keep only the liquid for cooking the rice.

In a separate pan, sweat some onions.

Add 1 cup of rice to the pan with the onions.

Use 2 cups of the reserved stock for the rice (1 measure of rice to 2 measures of water).

While the rice is cooking, pull the meat from the duck legs.

Layer the cooked rice in a baking dish, followed by a layer of pulled duck meat, then another layer of rice.

Cut the bacon and chorizo and place them on top of the final layer of rice.

Bake in the oven until heated through.
