1

Peel and wash 1 pound of potato, keeping it in cold water to prevent discoloration.

2

In a bowl, combine duck with 1/4 cup green seasoning and mix to coat evenly; allow to marinate for 4 hours or start cooking immediately.

3

Prepare the masala by mixing all green seasoning and dry ingredients in a bowl until evenly combined.

4

Heat a preheated pot over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

5

Add 1/2 cup chopped onions and 1/4 cup scallion to the pot; fry until the onion is infused in the oil.

6

Add 2 bay leaves and fry the onion until fragrant.

7

Add the prepared masala to the pot and fry until it starts separating from the oil.

8

Add the marinated duck to the pot and mix to coat evenly with the masala.

9

Cover the pot and allow the duck to release its water, cooking until the water evaporates.

10

While the duck cooks, boil 1 pound of potato in a separate pot with 1 teaspoon of adobo until fork-tender.

11

Once the duck has released its water, check the pot and cover it again to allow it to cook further until the water dries out.

12

After the water has evaporated, add 6 cups of water to the pot with the duck, ensuring the meat is submerged.

13

Cover the pot and allow the duck to cook for 1 hour and 30 minutes, checking occasionally to ensure there is enough water.

14

After 1 hour and 30 minutes, add the boiled potatoes and some freshly chopped scallions to the pot, mixing to coat evenly with the sauce.

15

Reduce heat to low and allow everything to combine before serving.
